About this product

Product Information

METROPOLIS, a visionary and elaborate spectacle by director Fritz Lang is an epic projection of a futuristic city divided into a working and an elite class. Its exhilarating climax brings the city to its knees, as the classes clash against each other.In the 21st century, a de-humanized proletariat labors non-stop in a miserable subterranean city beneath a luxurious city of mile-high skyscrapers, flying automobiles, palatial architectural idylls, tubes and tunnels. With stunningly inventive special effects, Lang's allegorical narrative and architectural vision creates a highly stylized vision of a not-so-unlikely future (especially for 1926 when the film was made). As the elite frolic above the clouds, thousands of miserable workers toil night and day inside the belly of the gigantic machine that runs the entire city. Metropolis is controlled by a sinister authoritarian whose son, Freder, rejects his father's callous philosophy and attitude towards laborers. Meek though they are, the workers are encouraged by Maria, a wistful young woman who wills her comrades to embrace patience and silent strength. Upon discovering her influence upon the workers, a mad scientist kidnaps Maria and creates a robot in her image that will incite the workers to revolt. As Freder races against time to save Maria and curtail the damage done by her doppelganger robot, Metropolis is enveloped in chaos and the classes are brought together in a breathtaking and highly moralistic climax.

  • As relevant today is when it was created!!

    Yes, it's silent. But it is timeless. I highly recommend it to everyone. Too bad more people didn't realize that what it portrayed would become all too real. It reminds we of what could happen here very eaisly in America if evil is left to flourish.

  • Great epic film almost 100 years later

    The effects and quality of the DVD itself are dated and cheesy being from 1998, but the film itself is great and ahead if it's time. The movie is a great science fiction original and I recommend it if you haven't seen it. It's an old silent film from 1926 so if that's not your style then you may not like it.
