Tagline: Welcome to Metropolis
Plot: Metropolis: A future society, where humans and robots co-exist. A giant city-state, atop of which rests what could be termed a symbol of the advanced civilization, the newly completed skyscraper Ziggurat, where an opening ceremony is underway…During the middle of a florid speech by Duke Red, the prime mover and shaker of Metropolis, a disruptive party crasher is shot and killed by a young security guard, But after it turns out the gatecrasher was just a robot, the young guard goes nonchalantly on his way. Two of the bystanders at the scene watch with great interest. They are Private Detective Shunsaku Ban and his traveling companion, his young brilliant nephew, Kenichi, both of whom have just arrived in Metropolis on the trail of a case. Their investigation leads them to a laboratory, where a fire breaks out after they break in. Escaping by the skin of his teeth, Kenichi has a fateful encounter with a girl, Tima, who is actually the robotic double of Duke Red’s deceased daughter. Tima has no idea that she is a robot, nor is she aware of the fact that she was secretly imbued with enough power to control the world. In the midst of the madness surrounding them, the human Kenichi and the robot Tima open their hearts to each other, even as they’re stalked by a persistent killer.
