          Friedrich Christian Anton Lang was born on December 5, 1890. He was born in Vienna and studied art while he traveled the world in college. He was drafted into World War I in 1914. In 1918 he was a lieutenant in the military when he was released. He wrote scripts for a short time when he got a job with a German film company. He soon became a director for Nero-Film during the Expressionist movement.

           He co-wrote many of the scripts for his movie with actress and script-writer Thea von Harbou. Lang married Harbou in 1924. They made movies together up until 1933 when the Third Reich moved in. Lang thought that they were tyrants and escaped to America. Lang and Harbou were divorced in 1934. Harbou stayed in Germany and continued to write and direct movies for the Third Reich.
