Slovenski opis filma:

Ciklus Fritza Langa Nemčija, 1927 Režija Fritz Lang Metropolis Fritza Langa je eden najpomembnejših nemih filmov, ki že skoraj 90 let velja za rojstno mesto žanra distopične znanstvene fantastike, na vseh seznamih najboljših ZF filmov pa se kajpak nahaja čisto pri vrhu. Prihodnost je mračna verzija sedanjosti: ljudje vse življenje posvetijo delu, pri tem pa se delijo na dve skupini. Ena živi nad zemljo, to so t.i. misleci, ki proizvajajo ideje, a nimajo nobenih praktičnih znanj. V drugi, ki živi pod zemljo, pa se nahajajo delavci, ki jih nadzemeljski svet kruto izkorišča. Nekega dne se eden od mislecev spusti v podzemlje, kjer živijo delavci.
