This 1956 pop adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest is one of the best, most influential science fiction movies ever made. Its space explorers are the models for the crew of Star Trek's Enterprise, and the film's robot is clearly the prototype for Robby in Lost in Space. Walter Pidgeon is the Prospero figure, presiding over a paradisiacal world with his lovely young daughter and their servile droid. When the crew of a spaceship lands on the planet, they become aware of a sinister invisible force that threatens to destroy them. Great special effects and a bizarre electronic score help make this movie as fresh, imaginative, and fun as it was when first released.

Take a dazzling trip to outer space with this fantastic sci-fi classic. It's the year 2257 A.D. when the far-off star called Altair-IV, occupied by three lone inhabitants, is visited by a search party from Earth. Professor Morbius, played by Walter Pidgeon, is a fugitive super-scientist who has decoded the secrets of an extinct master-race and created a weird world of futuristic marvels. Anne Francis is his daughter Altaira, a bewitching innocent who has lived her whole life in this realm of splendors and knows no man but her father. At their beck and call is Robby the Robot, an endearing machine who speaks 187 languages and can produce anything from hors d'oeuvres to emeralds. What happens when the space cruiser captained by Commander Adams (Leslie Nielsen) lands on this outer-space paradise makes for a spine-chilling, flamboyant fantasy combining romance, humor and suspense. The film rushes to a fiery climax when an unknown terror, impervious to man-made weapons, threatens to destroy all. If you're a sci-fi fan, you'll love this movie classic, which Pauline Kael called "the best of the science fiction interstellar productions of the fifties."
