Planeta prohibido (1956)
Reconocido como uno de los clásicos de la ciencia-ficcion adulta, Forbidden Planet es una de las grandes películas realizadas durante la década de los cincuenta, junto con otras como La invasión de los ladrones de cuerpos (Invasion of the body snatchers, 1956), El increíble hombre menguante (The incredible shrinking man, 1957), y Ultimátum a la Tierra (The day the earth stood still, 1951). Pero su importancia va mas allá, pues Planeta Prohibido también representa un germen sobre el cual mucha de la ciencia-ficción para la pantalla grande y pequeña se iba a desarrollar a partir de la década de los sesenta. No es difícil ver en los tripulantes de la nave espacial los futuros antecesores de los tripulantes del Enterprise en Star Trek y en el robot a un ancestro de C3PO. También fue innovadora en su banda sonora, ya que fue la primera película con banda sonora totalmente electrónica, sintetizada con circuitos electrónicos creados ex-profeso, aunque es música ambiental y no sinfónica.
