WORLD ON A WIRE (German: WELT AM DRAHT) is a 1973 science fiction television serial, starring Klaus Löwitsch and directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Shot in 16mm, it was made for German television and originally aired in 1973, as a two-part miniseries. It was based on the novel SIMULACRON-3 by Daniel F. Galouye. An adaptation of the Fassbinder version was presented as the play WORLD OF WIRES, directed by Jay Scheib, in 2012. Its focus is not on action, but on sophistic and philosophic aspects of the human mind, simulation, and the role of scientific research. A theatrical remake entitled THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR featuring Vincent D'Onofrio was released in 1999.
