ORIGINAL TITLE

FORBIDDEN PLANET

The script, inspired by William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, puts the story in the 23rd century, when a research spacecraft arrives on a distant planet known as Altair IV, to explore the fate of former human colonies. Known as one of the first Hollywood films to use electronic music as its soundtrack, the film is considered one of the most influential works in the sci-fi genre. To this day, its atmosphere, visual procédé, and fantastic imagination fascinate audiences around the world.

BIO

Fred McLeod Wilcox (22. prosinca 1907. – 23. rujna 1964.) bio je američki filmski redatelj. Dugo je godina radio za slavni holivudski studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, a u filmskoj povijesti ostao je zabilježen kao redatelj obiteljskog klasika Lassie se vraća kući (1943.) te jednog od temeljnih djela znanstvene fantastike Zabranjeni planet (1956.) koji su danas neizbrisivi dio (ne samo američke) nacionalne kulture i općeg mjesta filmske umjetnosti.
