In the "Metropolis" film version, Duke Red is a plutocrat who finances both the Ziggurat, a skyscraper-sized machine designed to spread mankind's power across the world, and the Marduk, a vigilante group tasked with suppressing malfunctioning robots. He also commissioned the creation of Tima, who resembles his deceased daughter, to serve as the core controller for the Ziggurat.
