It's just another day when they are after a bounty on Mars, when a strange event unfolds. After a devastating explosion on a highway an unknown disease begins to spread among the people.

The situation gets really disastrous when the disease claims over 500 victims. As the local government sets the highest bounty ever in the history on the head of the culprit it's time for Spike and friends to enter the action.

But there's a little problem: the man they search for is someone who's already dead

This movie takes place between episodes 22 and 23 of the TV series.

Spoken Languages: English, Japanese, English subtitles.

Based on a Osamu Tezuka's graphic novel first published in 1949 more than 10 years before the inception of Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy), Metropolis takes a look at the rapid expansion of science and technology and the co-existence of humans and robots.

Set in the future, Metropolis is a grand city-state populated by humans and robots, the cohabitants of a strictly segmented society. Amidst the chaos created by anti-robot factions, detective Shunsaku Ban and his sidekick Ken-ichi are searching for rebel scientist Dr. Laughton.

But when they locate him, his secret laboratory is destroyed by fire under sinister circumstances, and instead Ken-ichi finds Tima, a beautiful young girl bereft of memory and speech, seemingly helpless at the site. Little does he know that Tima is a new top-of the-line android created to take over Metropolis, and that behind her creation lie the ambitions of a powerful man and his fierce desire to reclaim a tragic figure from his past.

This is a Special Edition two-disc DVD set (featuring the first-ever pocket DVD of added bonus features!)

From Osamu Tezuka, creator of Astro Boy, comes Metropolis, the legendary 1949 graphic novel that inspired the animated fame that floored audiences and critics alike.

In a not-so-far-off future a beautiful, artifically created girl, unaware of her non-human background, searches for the non-existent parents she believes must exist, wandering alone in a world populated by humans and by the slave-driven robots who serve them.

Tezuka's key theme of the nature of humanity in a technological society is framed in bold relief, as well as his wry allegorical observations of the Cold War that was escalating when he created Metropolis. A brilliant work of wit and wisdom and guest-starring some friends you may recognize from Astro Boy!
