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 (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis), a dutiful robot named Robby... and a mysterious terror. Featuring sets of extraordinary scale and the first allelectronic musical soundscape in film history, Forbidden Planet is in a movie orbit all its own.
