The Story
A child killer turns an entire city against itself in Fritz Lang's first sound film.
As Hans Beckert stalks the children of Berlin, whistling his eerie tune, the police dragnet so disrupts the underworld that the criminals mount their own manhunt to be rid of the heat. Closing in from both sides, the city tightens around a man who insists he cannot stop himself. Peter Lorre is unforgettable in one of the most influential thrillers ever made.
