Sodom und Gomorrha (sh. Sodoma i Gomora) je austrijski crno-bijeli nijemi historijski film snimljen 1922. u režiji Michaela Curtiza (pod imenom Michael Kertesz). Okvirni zaplet filma je smješten u suvremeni London gdje lijepa, ali amoralna protagonistica (čiji lik tumači Curtizova tadašnja supruga Lucy Doraine) zavede uticajnog financijera, ali i izazove nasilni incident zbog koga je osuđena na smrt. Radnja prikazuje kako u ćeliji čeka pogubljenje i počinje sanjati samu sebe kao kraljicu drevne Asirije, odnosno Lotovu suprugu iz starozavjetne priče o Sodomi i Gomori. Film je sniman pune dvije godine, te je predstavljao najskuplji i tada najambiciozniji projekt producenta Sasche Kolowrata i njegovog studija Sascha Film; režiser Curtiz je, pak nastojao dokazati kako se austrijska kinematografija može ravnopravno nositi sa hollywoodskim i italijanskim historijskim spekatklima, odnosno njemačkim ekspresionističkim dramama. Za film su angažirane hiljade statista i scenskih radnika, a Julius von Borsody je izradio impresivnu scenografiju. Produkcija je, s druge strane, bila obilježena nizom problema, prije svega zbog budžeta koji je na kraju bio pet puta veći od planiranog, kao i niza nesreća na setu koje su imale i ljudske žrtve. Usprkos tih poteškoća, Sodom und Gomorrha je na kraju postigao komercijalni uspjeh; Sascha-Film je postao jedan od najuglednijih evropskih studija u međuratnom periodu, a sam Curtiz je sebi olakašao buduću hollywoodsku karijeru.
