Metropolis trailer
Metropolis (1927), directed by Fritz Lang, is a drama film and is available to stream on 21 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 8.2/10 and 97% on Rotten Tomatoes from 3,076 ratings, it is well-reviewed by critics and audiences alike. Released in 1927, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1920s drama, and remains widely watched decades later.
The film stars Gustav Fröhlich, Brigitte Helm, and Alfred Abel. At 148 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.
If you're looking to watch Metropolis online, the best option is fuboTV for subscribers, and it's also included with FlixFling, Eternal Family, and Kino Film Collection, so subscribers to any of those services can watch without an additional rental. Prefer not to add another subscription? You can also rent or buy it from Amazon Video, Apple iTunes, and Google Play Movies. If you're picking what to watch next, it shares a vibe with Forrest Gump and Citizen Kane, both of which are available to stream right now.
