Is the movie Metropolis available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, we look beyond posters and posters to tell you where classic films like Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927) are actually streaming — whether on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+. Set in a towering, mechanised city split between glittering high-rises and the subterranean workforce, Metropolis follows the son of the city’s mastermind as he encounters a prophet who foretells a savior to mediate between “head” and “hands.” Think towering machines, the Maschinenmensch, and a dystopian clash of classes: the film’s imagery still shapes sci‑fi today. Metropolis didn’t collect major prizes on its first release, but it has since been recognised as a milestone of cinema and extensively restored; different cuts and restorations circulate, so streaming availability can mean different versions. In this article we check whether Metropolis is currently on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+, and which edition each platform carries so you can choose the version you want to watch.
