This 50s science fiction classic is based on Irving Block and Allen Adler's futuristic story about three lone inhabitants of a distant Forbidden Planet: Dr. Morbius (Pidgeon), his daughter Altaira (Francis), and Robby The Robot. Dr. Morbius is a fugitive scientist who has discovered the secrets of an extinct master race and has used the information to create a world of bizarre marvels. Flamboyant adventure and fantasy escalates when earthling Commander Adams (Nielsen) and his crew land their space vehicle on the monstrous illusion-plagued planet.
