Based loosely on William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," FORBIDDEN PLANET ('56) pioneered many aspects of the sci-fi genre: from "Robby the Robot," who was one of the first onscreen robots to have a distinctive personality, to having an entirely electronic music score. The film received an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects. See it tonight as we explore the sci-fi genre during our #31DaysofOscar | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
