The inspiration for the book and film came from Lang when he saw the enormous skyscrapers of New York from the deck of his ship. He suggested to his wife that she write the futuristic novel and screenplay, which he filmed to universal acclaim. The story is set in a technologically advanced city, which is sustained by the existence of an exploited class of labourers who live underground, far away from the gleaming surface world. Freder, the son and heir of Joh Fredersen, one of the city's founders, falls in love with Maria, a girl from the underground. Their romance takes place against the growing threat of civil war between the labourers and the armies of the founders, and the question of whether a lasting peace can be found.
