The
Forbidden Planet combines Shakespeare with Freud serving as a precursor for
future Sci-Fi endeavors. The movie stars Leslie Nielson and Anne Francis and
introduces Robby the Robot. It borrows heavily from The Tempest and uses Freudian ideas on the subconscious. The film
is a direct ancestor of Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry cited Forbidden Planet,
with its United Planets, as an influence.
Today, the film is considered both a cult classic and a sci-fi classic.
