Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to show the Martin’s Luther image which can be found in today's pop culture thanks to narrative films on reformer’s life. In the first part the author tried to present closer the Catholic and Protestant image of Luther, pointing to basic differences and their possible causes. Further, synthetically discussed the history of films presenting the figure of the Father of the Reformation. In the last part of the text to a critical analysis were submitted reformer’s film creations in the light of productions Martin Luther 1953. (Dir. Irving Pichel) and Luther 2003 (Dir. Eric Till).
