Ok, maybe you HAVE seen this one, but if not, definitely check it out.
1956 film directed by Fred McLeod stars Leslie Nielson, Walter Pidgeon, Anne
Francis, Jack Kelly, and Robbie the Robot.
Based on Shakespeare's The Tempest, this is the story of an Earth ship that travels to another planet looking for survivors of a previous expedition. All they find are a scientist, his daughter, and the robot created to help make their lives easier as the only inhabitants.
Along the way, the crew discovers a secret: a former civilization called the Krell, whose mind expanding technology has dire effects.
GREAT effects created by Disney studios. I've always had the suspicion that this film strongly influenced the creation of Star Trek. And Robbie is the coolest robot ever.
