Plot

Metropolis takes place in 2026, when the populace is divided into two groups: the thinkers, who make plans (but don't know how anything works), and the workers, who achieve goals (but don't have the vision). The workers must live in the dark underground, whilst the thinkers enjoy a futuristic city of splendour. Completely separate, neither group is complete, but together they make a whole.
