Ator l'invincibile (released in America as Ator, The Fighting Eagle) is a 1982 Italian film directed by Joe d'Amato, and the first film to feature the character Ator (played by Miles O'Keeffe). It is a mockbuster of the film Conan the Barbarian, which was released in the same year.
As the film opens, Ator asks his father for permission to marry his sister. Ator's father tells Ator that he is adopted and so he can marry his sister if he likes. The rest of the film deals with Ator's sister being kidnapped by a giant spider and Ator having to go on an epic quest.
The film (as well as all of its sequels) has been subject to massive negative reception.
