Metropolis

A futuristic look at the schism created in mankind as industrialization and technological advancement serves to alienate the humans from one another. People are divided into two groups: the thinkers who make plans, yet don''t know how to operate machinery, and the workers who forward production without having any overview vision.

Completely separate, neither group is complete; however, together they make a whole. When one man, a "thinker," dares to journey to the underground, where the workers 'slave away,'' he''s surprised at what he sees.
