Restored version of Fritz Lang's 1926 silent masterpiece, complete with original German intertitles. In the ultra-futuristic year 2000, industrialist John Frederson rules over a giant city where the workers exist only as an underclass. They call for rebellion, but their leader Maria urges them to wait for a mediator. When Frederson kidnaps Maria and replaces her with a robot replica, the workers are incited to revolt.
