Metropolis (1927)

aka: Dië Maschinenmensch: The Machine Person

It is the year 2026, and humans are divided into two groups: The thinkers, who make plans (but don’t know how anything works), and the workers, who achieve goals (but don’t have the vision). Completely separate, neither group is complete, but together they make a whole. One man from the “thinkers” dares visit the underground where the workers toil and is astonished by what he sees. Stars Alfred Abel, Gustav Fröhlich and Rudolf Klein-Rogge. (Silent).
