Rottweiler Plot Summary

What happens in Rottweiler from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Set in a near-future landscape of 2018, a prisoner named Dante (William Miller) makes a dangerous escape after being arrested for illegally entering Spain. He is relentlessly hunted by a monstrous Rottweiler police dog, a creation that was revived and cybernetically enhanced by the sadistic prison warden Kufard (Paul Naschy) after a fatal injury. Believing his Spanish girlfriend Ula (Irene Montalà) was sent to work as a prostitute in Puerto Angel as punishment, Dante pushes himself through exhaustion and bloodshed as the dog closes in, and he begins to suffer vivid hallucinations that dredge up repressed memories of his and Ula’s arrest.
