Forbidden Planet Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray is one of the greatest science fiction films ever made, a groundbreaking classic that redefined the genre with its visionary production design, pioneering electronic score and unforgettable story inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest. Presented in a brand new 4K restoration, this Arrow Video edition restores the film in its original 2.55:1 CinemaScope aspect ratio.

In the 23rd century, Commander John Adams and his crew travel to the distant planet Altair IV to investigate the fate of a missing expedition. There they discover Dr. Edward Morbius, his daughter Altaira and the iconic Robby the Robot, the only survivors of the original mission. As mysterious and deadly attacks begin anew, the crew uncovers the terrifying secret of an ancient alien civilization and an unseen force beyond human comprehension.

Starring Leslie Nielsen, Walter Pidgeon and Anne Francis, Forbidden Planet remains one of the defining achievements of classic science fiction cinema.
