Here is a potpourri of "Metropolis" images---some from the original film, others from the modern pop culure.

As is easily gathered from elsewhere on this site, the robot and other images from the film have become icons in our international culture, even when the story and details about the film may remain obscure to some people who are attracted to the movie's legendary graphics.
