Story Synopsis

The ’50’s science fiction classic, Forbidden Planet, is based on a futuristic story by Irving Block and Allen Adler about three lone inhabitants of a distant star called Altair-IV: Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter Altaira (Anne Francis), and Robby the Robot, their super functional servant. 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 (Leslie Nielsen) and his crew land their space vehicle on this distant planet plagued with monstrous illusion.
