The thirst for gold has long been a force of evil in cinema, and the latest action piece from stuntman turned director Jesse V Johnson falls under its glittering spell, interweaving vicious greed with the wreckages of war. Set during the second world war, Hell Hath No Fury revolves around a coveted sack of stolen Nazi gold, its location known only to SS general Von Bruckner (Daniel Bernhardt) and his French lover Marie (Nina Bergman).

As the war rapidly marches towards its conclusion, the once radiant Marie is punished by her compatriots for consorting with the enemy. With her hair chopped off and a swastika marked on her forehead in red lipstick, Marie cuts a Joan of Arc-like figure; it will soon be revealed that her relationship with Von Bruckner is not what it seems. Rescued from her ordeal by a ragtag group of American soldiers, Marie finds the price of freedom dangling by a thread, as she is ordered to lead her saviours to the buried treasure.
