Forbidden Planet
US One sheet movie poster for the classic 1956 science-fiction film
Forbidden Planet.
Movie Overview
Release Date: The film was first released on March 15, 1956, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).
Synopsis: The plot follows a starship crew from Earth who travel to the distant planet Altair IV to find out what happened to a previous expedition. They find only two survivors: Dr. Morbius and his daughter Altaira, along with their highly advanced robot servant, Robby the Robot.
Significance: Forbidden Planet is considered a landmark in the science-fiction genre, pioneering aspects like humans traveling in a faster-than-light ship and being set entirely on an exoplanet. It also featured the first completely electronic film score and was an inspiration for the original Star Trek television series.
The Poster Image: The poster depicts Robby the Robot menacingly carrying a woman, a common trope for 1950s monster movie advertising. This scene, however, never actually occurs in the film; Robby is a benevolent character programmed not to harm humans.
Cast
Walter Pidgeon as Dr. Edward Morbius
Anne Francis as Altaira "Alta" Morbius
Leslie Nielsen as Commander John J. Adams
Robby the Robot (voice by Marvin Miller)
