She is a post apocalyptic film directed by Avi Nesher and starring Sandahl Bergman. She was based on H. Rider Haggard's 1887 novel She: A History of Adventure.

Plot
Set 23 years after a nuclear war called "The Cancellation," in a land of warring tribes, the film follows Tom and his friend Dick, whose sister Hari has been captured by a powerful tribe, the Norks. Tom and Dick set out to find and rescue Hari, attempting to avoid the dangerous tribes they see along the way. They are ultimately captured by a matriarchal clan called the Urechs, led by "She" (Sandahl Bergman). The two manage to escape; She's forces track them down, but She decides to help them in their quest after hearing the prophecy from a local seer. She and her lieutenant Shanda join Tom and Dick on their travels.

They encounter many other tribes, each led by their own post-apocalyptic 'god', with the encounters usually ending in a battle. Each tribal ‘god’ has an army of mutants with special abilities apparently granted by the nuclear radiation.[2] One god-pretender, Godan, can levitate his enemies but is betrayed by his second-in-command, a woman in red who is upset that Godan has taken She as a lover. The heroes also face a tutu-wearing giant, toga-wearing werewolves, high society vampires, and mutants bandaged like Egyptian mummies. Over the course of these encounters, the group becomes separated, and they make their way separately to the Nork fortress.
