Alphaville (1965)
Agent 003 (Lemmy Caution) is sent on a secret mission to the "forbidden city" of Alphaville, also known as the "forbidden city". He must navigate through time and space in his Ford Galaxie, and navigate through various temptations and distractions, such as seductive women, to locate the man who created Alpha, the computer that controls society. Carrying a Colt Commander semiautomatic, Lemmy's mission is to kill the creator of Alpha, known as Nosferatu/von Braun. He must navigate through a society where the question "why" has been outlawed, and poetry, the conduit of sincere sentiment, is also banned. Lemmy rehabilitates Natacha, his last and greatest object of seduction, who is also the daughter of the antagonist whom he must defeat to complete his mission.
