A 1927 German silent science-fiction film directed by Fritz Lang, set in a towering dystopian city divided between a wealthy elite above ground and an exploited labor class below. Its expressionist sets and the design of the robot Maria shaped the visual vocabulary of science-fiction cinema for the century that followed.
