Directed by Fred M. Wilcox, Forbidden Planet stars Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis and Leslie Nielsen in a 1950s science fiction film set on the distant planet Altair IV. Inspired by Shakespeares The Tempest, the film follows a space cruiser sent to investigate a lost colony, where Dr. Morbius, his daughter Altaira and Robby the Robot are connected to ancient alien technology and a deadly invisible force. The film is a key early example of colour, widescreen studio science fiction, with space exploration, alien civilisation and advanced technology at its centre.

One of the all-time greats of science-fiction cinema, Forbidden Planet elevated the genre to a whole new level, transposing Shakespeares The Tempest into deepest space and breaking new ground with its iconic designs, elaborate sets, and pioneering electronic score.

In the 23rd century, a United Planets starship is dispatched to the distant planet of Altair IV to determine the fate of an earlier expedition. Warned not to land, Commander John Adams (Leslie Nielsen) does so anyway and discovers Dr. Edward Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter Altaira (Anne Francis), and a robot named Robby; the only survivors of the former crew, all of whom perished at the hands of an unseen force that also destroyed their ship. Now that unseen force is moving again, but what is it? Where does it come from? And how is it connected to the long dead civilization that once inhabited Altair IV?

For the very first time, Forbidden Planet is presented in its original Cinemascope aspect ratio of 2.55:1 with its theatrical Perspecta stereo soundtrack in an eye-popping brand new 4K restoration that is out of this world!
