Synopsis

Most of the robots you will have ever seen in a film or on TV - whether C-3PO in Star Wars, or the Cybermen in Doctor Who - are descended from the androids in this extraordinary sci-fi film that was, incredibly, made in 1927. It shows a world in which the rich live in luxurious skyscrapers, and the poor languish underground - and what happens when a man from the "thinking" class and a woman who leads the workers meet and fall in love. A spectacular and timeless movie classic.
