In the industrial, tri-level world of Metropolis, Duke Red is a powerful leader with plans to unveil a highly advanced robot named Tima. But Duke Red’s violent son Rock distrusts robots, and intends to find and destroy Tima.

But when Duke Red separates the two innocents, Tima’s life – and the fate of the universe – is dangerously at stake.
