What Forbidden Planet Is About
Fred M. Wilcox's 1956 film follows a rescue crew sent to a distant planet. Only a scientist and his daughter live there. Something invisible is killing the crew. The film fits science fiction into the shape of a Shakespeare play; the narrative locates the threat in the human mind itself. The score was produced entirely electronically, a first at the time. Its robot influenced later productions. Leslie Nielsen appears in a young role. Who it's for: those who like classic science fiction. Who it's not for: viewers expecting today's effects; the images have aged.
