Synopsis

[edit]
The City Destroyed (1924)

In The City Destroyed, a brilliant yet misunderstood young engineer harnesses the formidable power of lightning. With the capability to wield this natural force as a weapon, he issues a chilling ultimatum: pay a hefty ransom or witness the iconic city of Paris crumble under the devastating fury of controlled thunderbolts. As the city races against time, choices must be made — appease the engineer's demands or seek a way to thwart his electrifying scheme.
