One of the all-time greats of science-fiction cinema, Forbidden Planet elevated the genre to a whole new level, transposing Shakespeares The Tempest into deepest space and breaking new ground with its iconic designs, elaborate sets, and pioneering electronic score.In the 23rd century, a United Planets starship is dispatched to the distant planet of Altair IV to determine the fate of an earlier expedition. Warned not to land, Commander John Adams (Leslie Nielsen) does so anyway and discovers Dr. Edward Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter Altaira (Anne Francis), and a robot named Robby; the only survivors of the former crew, all of whom perished at the hands of an unseen force that also destroyed their ship. Now that unseen force is moving again, but what is it? Where does it come from? And how is it connected to the long dead civilization that once inhabited Altair IV?For the very first time, Forbidden Planet is presented in its original Cinemascope aspect ratio of 2.55:1 with its theatrical Perspecta stereo soundtrack in an eye-popping brand new 4K restoration that is out of this world!4K ULTRA HD LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm negative by Arrow Films in the original 2.55:1 aspect ratio Reversible sleeve featuring original artwork options Double-sided fold-out poster Reversible sleeve featuring two original artwork options Collectors booklet containing new writing by critics Frank Collins and Johnny Mains, plus select archival materialDISC 1 FEATURE (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY) 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Restored original lossless mono, restored original Perspecta stereo, and DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio options Optional English subtitles for the hard of hearing Brand new audio commentary by film historians Kim Newman and Barry ForshawDISC 2 EXTRAS (BLU-RAY) PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DISC MAY BE LOCKED TO REGION A FOR NORTH AMERICA Unearthly Aura, a newly filmed appreciation of Bebe & Louis Barrons pioneering electronic score by historian and composer Neil Brand Watch the Skies!: Science Fiction, The 1950s and Us, an archival documentary Amazing!: Exploring the Far Reaches of Forbidden Planet, an archival documentary Robby the Robot: Engineering a Sci-FiIcon, an archival featurette Deleted Scenes Lost Footage The Invisible Boy, a bonus movie featuring Robby the Robot in his second feature film Robot Client, an episode of The Thin Man TV series featuring Robby the Robot Two excerpts from MGM Parade Original Shooting Script Theatrical trailer Image galleriesTHIS IS A PREORDER DISC THAT IS DUE TO BE RELEASED ON OR ABOUT 9/29/26ALL ITEMS ORDERED TOGETHER WILL BE CHARGED AT THE TIME OF THE ORDERAND SHIP TOGETHER WHEN EVERYTHING IS IN STOCK.
