THE THOUSAND EYES OF DR. MABUSE by legendary director Fritz Lang (M, METROPOLIS, THE BIG HEAT) commences with a reporter being murdered in his car by a mysterious assassin. Simultaneously, Cornelious, a blind seer, predicts a murder at the police station just as an anonymous caller is phoning in a tip to the police. So begins the third installment in Lang's Dr. Mabuse trilogy. Invoking crime serials of the early days of cinema, the film takes place in post-war Berlin, where the swanky hotel Luxor is the locus of a disturbing ten-year crime spree. Every room is closely watched from a surveillance headquarters in the basement of the hotel, and a gang of criminals taking their orders from a mysterious leader's recorded voice plan a vast range of crimes, including the theft of military secrets and the explosion of a nuclear weapons plant. Police commissioner Krause and his men relentlessly search for clues, while hotel guests Marion, a suicidal young woman, and Travers, a millionaire planning to buy the nuclear weapons plant, spark up a romance. Undercover spies, two way mirrors, double agents, club-footed assassins and pre-modern surveillance technology create a frenetic and breakneck atmosphere as the plot escalates into a series of stylized twists that only Fritz Lang could dream up.
