Forbidden Planet - 1956
 
 
A space ship has carried out the year long journey from Earth to the remote planet Altair-5 with orders to check on a scientific posting there. They find only one small compound on the whole planet – home to scientist Dr Edward Morbius, his daughter Altaira and a fantastic robot called Robby. Learning of the deaths of the others of the original group, Commander Adams decides to stay until he can contact Earth for further orders. However 'something' else is on the planet with them and the ship is subject to sabotage of key equipment. Things escalate when members of the crew are attacked and the full extent of the dangers on the planet become more and more clear.

FORBIDDEN PLANET is the best SF film from the golden age of SF cinema.

All films before lead into it, and all films since flow out of it. It captures the romance, the spirit and the look of 1950's pulp Science Fiction.

No matter how high humanity climbs on the scale of evolution, no matter how advanced our technology becomes, we must never forget the primal instincts of our darker nature.
