This classic 50s sci-fi
film involves an expedition from Earth to Altair, 17 light years away, where
Commander John Adams (a youthful Leslie Neilsen) and his crew discover how
all but two of a planet of scientists perished. Walt Disneys foray
into sci-fi movies predated Star Trek and its modern ilk with groundbreaking
special effects and one of the first truly intelligent plots. Also, not
forgetting one of the true iconic marvels of robotic design--the unforgettable
Robby the Robot. |
