In the 23rd century, a United Planets starship is sent to the distant world of Altair IV to learn the fate of an earlier expedition. Ignoring warnings not to land, Commander John Adams (Leslie Nielsen) finds only Dr. Edward Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter Altaira (Anne Francis) and their robot, Robby. The rest of the crew was destroyed by an unseen force, and now that force is stirring again, bound up with the secrets of the long-dead civilization that once ruled the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReimagining Shakespeare's \u003cem\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/em\u003e in deep space, \u003cem\u003eForbidden Planet\u003c\/em\u003e raised the bar for the genre with its landmark designs, lavish sets, the unforgettable Robby the Robot and Bebe and Louis Barron's pioneering, all-electronic score.
