Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST is transformed in this landmark science-fiction film. Spacemen travel to a planet ruled by Dr. Edward Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), who has built a kingdom with his daughter and obedient robot Robby. The good doctor is plagued by his mad quest for knowledge through his "brain booster" machine, and by Freudian "monsters from the id" as his daughter discovers other men and learns to kiss.Product Identifiers

Outstanding 50th Anniversary Edition of Forbidden Planet!
This ultimate presentation for the famous vintage Sci-Fi Movie, "Forbidden Planet", comes in a fine, colorful metal display case. Excellent DVD versions of this movie and the associated "Invisible Boy" movie (with Robbie the Robot) are provided, along with seventeen advertising lobby cards and a 4-inch high model of Robbie the Robot himself. You have to add this to your collection! Who can resist monsters from the Id, Krell super-science, a pompous Walter Pidgeon, a scantily clad Anne Francis, and a young, heroic and for once, serious, Leslie Nielsen. Not to mention the comic relief of Robbie the Robot synthesizing booze for his goofy friend, the cool saucer design of Nielsen's spaceship and the Krell brain machine that can make you the smartest human in space. What a movie! Sure, its a bit infantile, but isn't that what the 50s were all about.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best sci-fi of the '50s!
This is STILL the best sci-fi flick of the '50s! That gorgeous flyin' saucer C57D glides through space as believably as the Starship Enterprise. However, one look at the crew standing in front of the saucer after disembarking and you can see the ship seems too small for the crew. Great green sky and Earl Holliman's comedic role as the tipsy cook was hilarious! Everyone loves Robby! Even the "monster from the Id" was unforgettable. Anne Francis' body suit did NOT pass for "nude" in the pool. After all, it WAS the '50s. Why Morbius didn't see the connection of the murderous rampage to his own subconscious is a bit puzzling in view of his "boosted I.Q., but altogether this movie is well worth watching over and over again. I'm glad I also have the Criterion Laserdisc version with outtakes which I bet are not in the 50th anniversary edition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

My all time favorite sci-if movie
Never knew this was available in a steel box version. This flick still stands on it's own in an era of incredible special effects, awesome achievement when one considers the era of production.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
