Synopsis

Based on the 1949 comic by “the Father of Manga” Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion), this cyberpunk anime is a cutting-edge reinterpretation of Fritz Lang’s classic film, written by Japanese anime legend Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira) and directed by Rintarô (Galaxy Express 999).

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 sweet 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.
