In the era when one could still but only dream of a comprehensive restoration of Fritz Lang's silent sci-fi epic Metropolis, esteemed pop artist/producer and pioneering electronic composer Giorgio Moroder followed his work on Brian De Palma's cult-classic Al Pacino vehicle Scarface by assembling his own version of Lang's 1920s classic. The result was a zeitgeist-infused, high-kitsch/high-art amalgam of some of the quintessential cinema images and then-contemporary 1980s pop-chart melodrama. For millions around the world, it is this version of Metropolis – featuring... music by Moroder himself and artistes such as Adam Ant, Pat Benatar, Freddie Mercury, Bonnie Tyler, and Jon Anderson – which first comes to mind whenever mention is made of the Lang original or, indeed, the iconic imagery and power of silent cinema.

Fritz Lang's classic presents a vision of a utopian city of the future with a dark side. Beneath the gleaming skyscrapers of the metropolis, a downtrodden mass of workers toil ceaselessly underground for the benefit of the elite above. The city's ruler creates a robot to incite a revolt and lead the rebels to their deaths - thus making room for a less troublesome robot workforce. Lang's expressionist masterpiece has been painstakingly restored, colourised, and re-edited under the initiative of Georgio Moroder to create a thoroughly modern interpretation of this silent classic with music by Moroder, Freddie Mercury, Pat Benatar, Adam Ant, Bonnie Tyler, Loverboy, Billy Squier and Cycle V.
