In Karel Capek’s sci-fi classic, R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) scientists create a robot in man’s image. The robots, stronger and more intelligent than mankind, revolt! In this often-read but rarely-seen play, Capek’s men of science begin with the noble vision of freeing man from common toil and poverty. Greed and a beautiful woman’s naivete turn this dream into an Armageddon between man and machine. Who emerges the victor? Filled with adventure, comedy and romance, it is directed by Jerome Guardino.
