We’re closing out Sci-Fi Month with one of the most influential films ever made: Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. A towering achievement of silent cinema, dystopian storytelling, and visual imagination, Metropolis laid the blueprint for nearly every sci-fi world that came after it.

We dig into the film’s groundbreaking effects, its timeless themes of class, industry, and humanity, and why its futuristic vision still feels eerily relevant today. As we wrap up a month of brain-bending timelines, cosmic loops, and speculative worlds, Metropolis reminds us where the genre truly began.

Epic, visionary, and unforgettable — the perfect finale to Sci-Fi Month.
