Hans storslåtte film var "Metropolis" (1927). Handlingen utspiller seg år 2026 i storbyen Metropolis, en by som er delt i to mellom overklassen som lever over jorden, og arbeiderne som lever som slaver i underjordiske fabrikker og huler. Ved siden av filmens handling, er et av filmens hovedtemaer om maskinen og teknologien. Filmen viser tydelig hvilken skeptisk holdning ekspresjonistene hadde til samtidens beundring av teknologien. Samtidig viser filmen forsiktige positive vinklinger til industrialismen.
Selv om "Metropolis"
i eftertiden har fått en klassiskerstatus, var den en økonomisk
katastrofe for UFA.
