Forbidden Planet

Description

Forbidden Planet is the granddaddy of tomorrow, a pioneering work whose ideas and style would be reverse engineered into many cinematic space voyages to come. Leslie Nielsen plays the commander who brings his space-cruiser crew to Planet Altair-4, home to Dr. Morbius, his daughter, a dutiful robot named Robby and to a mysterious terror. Featuring sets of extraordinary scale and the first all-electronic musical soundscape in film history, Forbidden Planet is in a movie orbit all its own.
