RUR Humans vs. Robots

A stunning allegory about the exploitation of workers, told through a series of fast-paced scenes, Karel ?apek’s suspenseful plot explores the fate of humankind in a world where robots fulfill every mortal need and desire. See the play that launched the future of robotic sci-fi thrillers!

Beyond imagination at the time, the word “robot” was first invented in this 1920 stage play. Not in a film, nor in a book, but in this remarkable theatre production, which predicted the future of “mechanized” humans.
