With a $2,000,000 budget in 1956, “Forbidden Planet” would be:

  • Gene Roddenberry’s important inspiration for “Star Trek”.
  • the first film to depict a faster than light starship.
  • the first film set on a distant planet outside our solar system.
  • the first film to depict a robot with a distinct personality.
  • the first film to use an entirely electronic musical score.

A Sci-Fi classic for any decade, a spaceship travels to the planet Altair IV to learn the fate of a scientific expedition sent there years earlier. When they arrive they discover only two people: Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter Altaira (Anne Francis). Soon, the mystery of what happened to the rest of the expedition on Altair IV is discovered, and why only Morbius and Altaira are the sole survivors.

The “Star Wars of the 1950s”, come see “Forbidden Planet” on the BIG SCREEN!
