The cult film directed by Fred M. Wilcox in 1956 is considered one of the best science fiction films ever made.
The plot of “Forbidden Planet” is directly inspired by “The Tempest”, the last tragedy written by William Shakespeare. In the film, the question of the evil double, the dark side that one carries within oneself, embodied by the destructive impulses and generated by the unconscious, are at the heart of the subject.
In this sci-fi classic, a spacecraft travels to the distant planet Altair IV to discover the fate of a group of scientists sent there decades earlier. When Commander John J. Adams (Leslie Nielsen) and his crew arrive, they discover only two people: Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter, Altaira (Anne Francis), who was born on the remote planet. Soon, Adams begins to uncover the mystery of what happened on Altair IV, and why Morbius and Altaira are the sole survivors.
