Metropolis (Metoroporisu)

Some time in the future, in the magnificent city of Metropolis, human kind enjoys life in a virtual Utopia. Detective Shunsaku Ban and his young sidekick Ken-ichi come to the city to arrest a deranged scientist named Dr. Laughton. They find that the Mad Scientist had created a super-being, the childlike Android, Tima. They also discover that Tima's creation was brought about at the behest of Duke Red in order to satisfy his lust for world dominance. Red intended to use Tima as the "Robot brain" of a new super computer, the likes of which the world had never seen. Things go awry when Rock, the leader of an anti-Robot Fascist militia loyal to Duke Red and determined to see him as supreme ruler, murders Dr. Laughton and destroys his laboratory, inadvertently allowing Tima to escape into the maze-like city. Ken-ichi befriends Tima and the two make their way through the bowels of the city, constantly avoiding the malevolent Rock, who is determined to destroy the beautiful Android Girl.
