It’s the story of a United Planets cruiser following up on a lost colony expedition to a far away world. There the young captain is faced with a mystery. The leader of the lost expedition very much wants to be left alone.
This is not the plot to the "Man Trap," "Requiem for Methuselah" or even "This Side of Paradise." It is actually the plot to the 1956 film Forbidden Planet. This was one of Gene Roddenberry's favorite films and is a big influence on the creation of Star Trek.
Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto take a look at this classic film on this episode of 70s Trek.
