Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" is a science-fiction movie classic. With a cast of 36,000 it features spectacular set designs and special photographic effects that remain unsurpassed and, for "Tuesday Cinema"'s presentation of the film, an electronic music score has been specially prepared.

In Metropolis, city of the future, a life of unremitting labour has dehumanised the workers while the aristocracy live in luxury. When unrest begins to show itself, Fredersen, the Master of Metropolis, and his henchman, the mad genius Rotwang, introduce an ingenious secret weapon.
