"Metropolis is the new milestone in anime. It has beauty, power, mystery and
above all…heart. Images from this film will stay with you forever." -James
Cameron
Brace yourself for a totally new experience in cutting edge animation. Based on
the classic comic created by Osamu Tezuka (Astroboy), written by Japanese anime
legend Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira) and directed by Rintaro (Galaxy Express 999),
Metropolis is a spectacular film featuring stunning imagery and unforgettable
characters.
In the industrial, tri-level world of Metropolis, Duke Red is a powerful leader
with plans to unveil a highly advanced robot named Tima. But Duke Red's violent
son Rock distrusts robots, and intends to find and destroy Tima. Lost in the
confusing labyrinth beneath Metropolis, Tima is beginning a friendship with the
young nephew of a Japanese detective. But when Duke Red separates the two
innocents, Tima's life -- and the fate of the universe -- is dangerously at
stake.
