Forbidden Planet
Sci-fi classic. A spaceship lands on a planet inhabited by Dr Morbius, his daughter and their robot. Their lonely existence is overshadowed by a terrifying, unseen menace.
Cult sci-fi adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest. A spaceship is sent on a mission to re-establish contact with a human colony on a distant planet. When they arrive, they find only two survivors - a lone scientist and his daughter. The scientist displays little interest in the idea of being rescued, claiming that conditions on the planet are ideal. When the crew decide to stay on the planet to investigate the disappearance of the rest of the colony, their presence seems to trigger the onslaught of a deadly and mysterious force.
