Forbidden Planet<\/strong><\/em> is a 1956 American science fiction film<\/a> from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer<\/a>, produced by Nicholas Nayfack<\/a>, and directed by Fred M. Wilcox<\/a> from a script by Cyril Hume<\/a> that was based on an original film story by Allen Adler<\/a> and Irving Block. It stars Walter Pidgeon<\/a>, Anne Francis<\/a>, and Leslie Nielsen<\/a>. Shot in Eastmancolor<\/a> and CinemaScope<\/a>, it is considered one of the great science fiction films of the 1950s,[4]<\/a><\/sup> a precursor of contemporary science fiction cinema. The characters and isolated setting have been compared to those in William Shakespeare<\/a>‘s The Tempest<\/a><\/em>,[5]<\/a><\/sup> and the plot contains certain happenings analogous to the play, leading many to consider it a loose adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbidden Planet<\/em> pioneered several aspects of science fiction cinema. It was the first science fiction film to depict humans traveling in a faster-than-light starship<\/a> of their own creation.[6]<\/a><\/sup> It was also the first to be set entirely on another planet in interstellar space, far away from Earth<\/a>.[7]<\/a><\/sup> The Robby the Robot<\/a> character is one of the first film robots<\/a> that was more than just a mechanical “tin can” on legs; Robby displays a distinct personality and is an integral supporting character in the film.[8]<\/a><\/sup> Outside science fiction, the film was groundbreaking as the first of any genre to use an entirely electronic<\/a> musical score<\/a>, courtesy of Bebe and Louis Barron<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbidden Planet<\/em>‘s effects team was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects<\/a> at the 29th Academy Awards<\/a>. In 2013, the picture was entered into the Library of Congress<\/a>‘ National Film Registry<\/a>, being deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.[9]<\/a><\/sup>[10]<\/a><\/sup> Tony Magistrale<\/a> describes it as one of the best examples of early techno-horror<\/a>.[11]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
