In the sprawling, vertically divided city of Metropolis, a fragile coexistence between humans and robots is fracturing under the weight of prejudice and social unrest. Japanese detective Shunsaku Ban and his nephew Kenichi arrive to investigate the elusive scientist Dr. Laughton, only for Kenichi to discover a mysterious amnesiac girl in the lab. Choosing to protect her, he flees with her into the city's dangerous depths.
As Shunsaku delves into the shadowy machinations of the city's de facto ruler, Duke Red, Kenichi struggles to shield the girl from relentless pursuers. The chase unveils a profound secret connected to her true identity, sparking a conflict that will decide the fate of Metropolis itself. This anime masterfully blends film noir intrigue with poignant themes of identity, class, and what it means to be truly human.
