The Secret of Steel City is a fantastic movie with some dystopian elements and a well made movie adaption of a story written by maestro Jules Verne (The Begum's Fortune). If you got the chance, put this on your screen: it works well as simple spy/adventure movie but got some depth and, last but not least, some excellent visuals. This is one of those movies (like Stalker, Solaris, Ikarie XB-1 ) that are proof that behind the Iron Curtain there was some serious and imaginative movie-making going on.
