Forbidden Planet is a 1956 Science Fiction film directed by Fred M. Wilcox, written by Cyril Hume, and starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, and a pre-Airplane! Leslie Nielsen.How to best sum up its plot? Think Shakespeare... IN SPACE!Loosely adapted from The Tempest (with a few nods to H. P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness), Forbidden Planet tells the tale of an Earth rescue mission to the planet Altair IV in order to determine the fate of the starship Bellerophon, which landed an earlier expedition. United Planets Cruiser C-57D, piloted by Commander John J. Adams (Nielsen), arrives to find that the Bellerophon's sole survivors are Dr. Edward Morbius (Pidgeon), his daughter Altaira (Francis), and their robot house servant, Robby. Adams's investigation into the mystery reveals secrets that can change the course of human civilization but unleashes a hideous monster in the process.A classic of '50s sci-fi cinema whose story, production values, and special effects hold up well even by today's standards. It is the first film whose soundtrack consists entirely of electronic music and which was written for magnetic tape (and it was made by a couple, Louis and Bebe Barron).By the way, if you watch this film and can't help but think it feels completely like a Star Trek episode (but without Mr. Spock), that's no accident — Gene Roddenberry fully admitted that Forbidden Planet was one of the primary inspirations for his series, and Forbidden Planet's fingerprints are all over Trek's writing, story, style, and tech, especially the original pilot episode, The Cage. It also gave some Japanese creators their momentum, and its elements can be found again in Space Battleship Yamato and Space Runaway Ideon.It spawned a Jukebox Musical version called Return to the Forbidden Planet which hit its popularity in the '90s, winning an award and gaining a slight cult following.

Big Dumb Object: The vast self-powered Underground City of the Krell qualifies. Standing in one of the huge ventilation shafts, Dr. Morbius says that the platform they're standing on runs for twenty miles in either direction, and there's 7800 levels above them. And there's 400 other shafts like it.

All Men Are Perverts
 Forbidden Planet / int_129749df
comment
All Men Are Perverts: Invoked on two occasions. The XO, in an attempt to get Altaira for himself, implies that his captain and the ship's doctor can't be trusted alone with women. He then proceeds to prey on her innocence to introduce her to kissing. Altaira is unimpressed with kissing until she tries it with the captain. The Captain attempts to justify his crew's behavior by noting they are all in superb physical condition, average 24.6 years old, and have been cooped up on the C57D for 13 months. Mind you he need not apologize. Altaira is thoroughly enjoying herself.

Bloodless Carnage: The battle with the Id Monster, considering it had the weapons and strength to tear anything that got too near it limb from limb (as was revealed in a Gory Discretion Shot earlier). It was already pushing the boundaries for a 1950s sci-fi movie; hard to fault it for using this trope.

Never Split the Party: Subverted; Farman lets Cookie go outside the energy fence on an errand that even he can tell is bogus. At one point Cookie has the requisite falling on his face and looking up to see...not a terrible monster, but Robby with a huge pile of bourbon bottles. While he's busy, the invisible monster simply walks through the fence to attack those inside.

What Did You Expect When You Named It ____?

comment
What Did You Expect When You Named It ____?: The ship that originally brought Morbius to Altair IV is called the Bellerophon. In Classical Mythology, Bellerophon was a great hero who tamed the Pegasus. However, he also fell victim to hubris, and was punished by being sent crashing down to Earth from his mount, where he died a blinded cripple.

Gone Horribly Right
 Forbidden Planet / int_1994ba0b
comment
Gone Horribly Right: The last invention of the Krell was evidently meant to be an improvement over their Matter Replicator technology that would allow them to give form and substance to anything they could imagine without having to feed a sample of it into a machine for analysis first. As the ship's doctor Lt. Ostrow concludes, their new device was a smashing success at this, but it also Dug Too Deep in a psychological sense: the Krell forgot about the irrationally evil and violent desires lurking deep in the subconscious imagination of every rational being, to which their new device also gave form and substance. These "monsters of the id" then destroyed their civilization and exterminated them all, and came close to doing the same to all the humans on the planet after Dr. Morbius took to fiddling with it.

Future Society, Present Values
 Forbidden Planet / int_280973fd
comment
Future Society, Present Values: The opening narration seems to imply a certain amount of equality in the future... and then immediately shows us a crew made up entirely of white men. The attitudes of said white men towards Altaira are also noticeably very 1950s, particularly the attitude towards her skimpy outfits. There's even one point where Commander Adams tells Altaira to start covering herself (because it's her responsibility to keep the men from ogling her), and she has Robby make her a new dress because just putting on a pair of pants would be unthinkable. However, those attitudes were somewhat justified because, when the film was made, Sputnik I hadn't been launched into orbit yet and no one knew if someone could survive both the Zero-G of outer space and the G-forces of an orbital rocket launch or atmospheric re-entry. The requirements for the first group of American astronauts was for military test pilots with large amounts of jet experience ... which excluded most male American pilots and all female American pilots.

Logic Bomb: Robby's "built-in safety factor": he is compelled to obey Morbius, but is also compelled not to harm a rational being, and he shorts out if those two mandates come into conflict. Backfires when Morbius, in a panic, orders Robby to kill the Monster, and trips the failsafe instead, because Robby realizes that the Monster is being generated by the Krell machine from Morbius' own subconscious. The only way for Robby to kill the monster is to kill Morbius, which the failsafe will not allow, causing Robby to freeze up and be unable to take any action.

Mad Scientist: Lampshaded by Dr Morbius after demonstrating that Robby is Three Laws-Compliant; even if he was the proverbial mad scientist of the "tape thrillers", he could not possibly harm anyone with the technology he has. Turns out he has other attributes of a mad scientist like hubris, lack of self-awareness, and a failure to think things through.

Ragnarök Proofing: Subverted. Krell stuff was built to last, as the underground complex beneath Morbius's house demonstrates, but, in the words of Doctor Morbius, "...seemingly on the threshold of some supreme accomplishment which was to have crowned their entire history, this all-but-Divine race [the Krell] perished in a single night. In the two thousand centuries since that unexplained catastrophe, even their cloud-piercing towers of glass, and porcelain, and adamantine steel have crumbled back into the soil of Altair IV, and nothing, absolutely nothing remains above ground." The Krell machine and its laboratory remained intact and functioning because it was designed and built that way with the ability to self-repair and self-maintain itself.

Bittersweet Ending: Morbius dies, but he manages to stop his runaway Id from destroying his daughter. And the Forbidden Planet explodes, taking the unimaginably advanced science of the Krell with it. True, the protagonists manage to keep Robby, who is stated to be beyond state of the art, but Krell technology is thousands of years ahead of anything we have, and just from what we see they could have revolutionized agriculture, power generation and metallurgy to such a degree that it would have been one of the most important discoveries in human history. Then again, even the Krell, in all their development, ultimately proved unable to wield such power without self-destructing, and they had longer to get used to it.

Three Laws-Compliant: Robby, most definitely. We're shown very early that he cannot harm humans, and that he will obey any order other than to kill. This becomes a plot point, later, when Morbious orders Robby to destroy the monster, only for Robby, who knows the truth of the monster, to freeze up, unable to comply. This is part of what convinces Morbious at last of the truth of his link to the monster.

Meaningful Background Event
 Forbidden Planet / int_5b565147
comment
Meaningful Background Event: Coupled with Foreshadowing; During the id monster's big attack on the C57D, the film inserts a shot of Morbius sleeping (and having a nightmare) in the Krell lab; behind him, the energy gauges of the Krell machinery are lighting up one after the other, and darken once he awakens. The same thing happens later during the climax in that same lab, when Adams is trying to convince Morbius of the monster's true source, with the gauges lighting up one by one as the monster tries harder to get through the door until the entire wall is lit up.

Lost Technology: The Krell, an alien race who lived on the titular Planet but died out hundreds of thousands of years ago, left behind an artifact that could dramatically boost the intellect of those few primitive, backward humans who survived the process. Their machines could also read the thoughts of those who used the artifact, and even cause some of those thoughts to become reality.

Heroic Sacrifice
 Forbidden Planet / int_6439de78
comment
Heroic Sacrifice: Knowing that the Krell machine could kill a human using it, Lt. Ostrow runs off when Commander Adams is distracted to use it. This could be hubris and him wanting to use it first (Commander Adams had insisted he go first), or taking the risk on himself to spare his captain. Either way, he lives just long enough to reveal the nature of the id monster and provide the means of saving everyone. Once he realizes that the id monster is him, Dr. Morbius begs Commander Adams to kill him to save his daughter. He then confronts the monster directly, resulting in his death.

Perilous Power Source: The Krell cube's power source, sunk into the planet fifty miles below the machine itself, is filled with 9200 thermonuclear reactors. Morbius shows them the inner workings, but only through a heavily filtered mirror. "Man cannot behold the face of the gorgon and live!" ("Gorgon Gazing" was even the former trope name).

Meaningful Name: Morbius is very close to "Morpheus", the Greek god of sleep. And what happens when Morbius sleeps? It's also close to "morbid", and Morbius is obsessed with studying a dead civilization. Altaira is apparently named after the planet she was born on - Altair IV. Her name probably says more about her father than it does about her character.

Eldritch Abomination: The Id Monster. It doesn't drive people insane (more feeds off their inner insanity), but it's utterly unlike anything living. It's loaded with (un)natural weapons quite capable of shredding anything that gets in its way. Worst of all, the Krell machinery feeding it gives it effectively infinite strength. Nothing will stop it from reaching its intended target and destroying it except its originator's Heroic Sacrifice.

Stealth Sequel: Robby the Robot was so popular that he appeared as the co-star in a B&W children's movie called The Invisible Boy. In an application of this trope, the movie was implied to take place in the same universe as Forbidden Planet, with Robby being pulled back in time to the present day by a scientist's experiment. Some releases of Forbidden Planet include The Invisible Boy as DVD Bonus Content.

Setting Update: Shakespeare's The Tempest, IN SPACE! Famously, this took the form of updating the magic of the original into scientific concepts, like Morbius being a scientist rather than a magician and using Freud's theories of the elements of the unconscious mind rather than the classical elements of the natural world, and associating the moral, logical superego with Robbie the Robot while the Monster from the Id represents the unfettered, mindless impulses and drives of the mind in the same vein as Ariel's association with air and fire while the brutish Caliban is connected to the "lower elements" of earth and water.

Nothing Is Scarier
 Forbidden Planet / int_cdfe12c3
comment
Nothing Is Scarier: Most of the appearances by the id monster feature... well, nothing. The creature is invisible unless 'colored' by some sort of energy (IE, the perimeter fence, blasters, etc). In fact, the only thing seen during its entire first "appearance" is footprints in the dust and dented stairs when it enters the ship, although one crewman can hear its breathing.

Deadly Upgrade: The doctor uses an Upgrade Artifact to rapidly become smart enough to learn the planet's secrets, but dies in the process. Earlier, Morbius did the same thing and survived, but he took his time, and even then... well, see below.

 Forbidden Planet / int_d10d5eb5
comment
Made of Indestructium: During their tour of the Krell city, Dr. Morbius has Commander Adams try out his blaster on a door made of 26 inches of molecular-condensed metal; the beam doesn't even warm it up. However when Morbius tries to use those same doors to hold off the ID Monster it's to no avail, because the monster can draw on as many of the city's thermonuclear generators as it needs to burn through it.

"Eureka!" Moment
 Forbidden Planet / int_d129e13e
comment
"Eureka!" Moment: After the id monster's attack on the ship, Adams and Doc Osgrow discuss how it could withstand their weapons, and the Doc reasons that it was regenerating itself "from one microsecond to the next!" The phrasing gives Adams the key clue to the monster's source (Morbius said the same thing about a mental projection he'd showed them, made with the Krell machinery).

Reality Has No Soundtrack
 Forbidden Planet / int_d5139ac
comment
Reality Has No Soundtrack: Instead of a conventional score, the film uses electronic sounds to suggest an otherworldly atmosphere. Hollywood composers, following the town's usual treatment of new styles and ways of doing things, panicked that these electronic musicians would put them all out of work, and had the couple that produced the music blacklisted for the rest of their careers.

You Are Not Ready: Morbius' dictum that he would parcel out the dead planet's Phlebotinum as he saw fit so as not to corrupt humanity. Eventually, The Captain agrees with him that none of it should be used by anyone else, and the planet is made to self destruct. On the other hand, the crew does bring a fully functional AI robot with superhuman strength and an on-board Matter Replicator back with them, so the Krell tech certainly wasn't all destroyed.

Artistic License - Food Hygiene: Cookie never removes his apron, even when he leaves the ship. This makes it much easier to tell him apart from all the other white men in uniform, but is not best practice for food hygiene. As well as protecting your clothes from the food, the apron also protects the food from your clothes. By never removing it, he risks bringing outside dirt into the kitchen. Alien outside dirt. That said, food hygiene seems like something that Cookie might not care too much about.

Calling the Old Man Out: Altaira was reluctant at first to leave with the crew, as she doesn't want to leave her father and still believes she and her father are immune to the monster. Until she sees he has no sympathy for Lt. Ostrow, calling his death karma for his own "greed and folly".

No Man Should Have This Power: Dr. Morbius insists that humanity won't be able to handle the power granted by the Krell artifacts. Captain Adams resents Morbius setting himself up as the arbiter of this technology; when Morbius himself can't handle the power, Adams realizes this really is too much power for humanity, so he doesn't object to destroying the entire planet.

comment
Exact Words: Altaira is told by papa not to go near the ship, so she just parks nearby. "After all, this isn't very near." He earlier tells her not to turn up for lunch, so just turns up for coffee afterwards. In a secondary example, Cook "sneaks out" of the ship to obtain 60 gallons of liquor from Robby the Robot at their meeting place amidst the rocks. While engaged in conversation with Cook, Robby pauses and scans the area, causing the human to ask if someone's "coming this way", which Robby reassures him is not the case. An invisible monster proceeds to sneak aboard the ship and kill a crew member.

 Forbidden Planet / int_f10d3363
comment
Distracted by the Sexy: Happens to all the crewmen who meet Altaira, who is Obliviously Beautiful and can't understand why being so friendly and outgoing might fuel some male predatory behavior. Commander Adams isn't immune to it himself and he reads her the riot act about how distracting she is to all the men. Altaira tries to have a concealing dress made to avert this, but utterly fails to make Altaira look frumpy and instead makes Adams even more attracted to her than before.

Mental Monster
 Forbidden Planet / int_f5e01bcc
comment
Mental Monster: The monster that killed most of the crew of the starship Bellerophon was formed by the equipment left by the Krell, evidently meant to be an improvement over their Matter Replicator technology that would allow them to give form and substance to anything they could imagine. The equipment, however, also gives form and substance to irrationally evil and violent desires lurking deep in the subconscious imagination of every rational being, and the monster the protagonists face is really the Id of Dr. Edward Morbius.

Have a Gay Old Time: Dr. Morbius says that his enhanced intellect, by the standards of the Krell, would be comparable to that of a "low-grade moron," which at the time was a technical term for someone with an I.Q. in the 51-70 range.note Fun fact: this word later mutated into a slur, and the term "retard" was actually invented as a politically correct alternative.

 Forbidden Planet / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: Nothing could survive three billion electron volts? Really? Tissue paper could withstand far more than that! The thermal energy sucked out of your skin when a snowflake melts on it is about a billion times higher. A common misconception is that "electron volt" is the same as a regular volt. Actually, it's the energy gained by a single electron accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. This is an incredibly tiny amount of energy. Alternatively,the three billion electron volts could be the energy in each particle, which is absurd in the other direction, being roughly three thousand times the energy of a gamma photon. The decay of a single gamma photon into visible light can be very easily observed with the unaided eye. Electron volts can also be used as a measurement of temperature. Using this formulation, 3 GeV is equivalent to a temperature of around 35 trillion degrees Kelvin, so the statement makes sense.

Robot Buddy: Robby is perhaps the Ur-Example of this trope. Polite, friendly and helpful, though occasionally droll and sarcastic (but never malicious), it's little wonder why he was the breakout star of the film, especially when you see him just standing around getting drunk with the C57D's cook.
