Before The Matrix, Blade Runner and Star Wars came Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent science fiction masterpiece Metropolis. See the complete digitally restored film with the original 1927 score by Gottfried Huppertz performed by the WSO, Julian Pellicano, conductor.
Metropolis is set in a futuristic dystopia and examines the social crisis between workers and owners in capitalism. Produced in Germany, it was the most expensive film of its time.
