“One of the most beautiful animated films ever produced.”
—Empire Magazine
Based on the classic comic created by Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy), written by Japanese anime legend Katsuhiro Otomo (AKIRA), and directed by Rintaro (GALAXY EXPRESS 999), METROPOLIS is, quite simply, one of the greatest feats of animation, a wholly engulfing cinematic experience that must be seen to be believed. In the industrial world of Metropolis, Duke Red controls all, but when a young boy, Kenichi, and his detective uncle begin their search for an organ smuggler, his grip on the city begins to slip.
