The novel “Forbidden Planet” by W.J. Stuart was published for the first time in 1956.

A spaceship commanded by John J. Adams approaches the planet Altair-4. The mission is to establish the fate of a previous expedition that reached the same planet about twenty years earlier. However, in a radio contact, Professor Morbius tries to convince Adams to turn back because a grave danger awaits the crew on the planet.

Adams is not convinced and lands his spaceship in the area near ​​Professor Morbius’ radio transmitter. While he’s carrying out the first environmental assessments with his crew, Adams is reached by a vehicle driven by a robot that invites them to meet Morbius. A small group goes to meet Morbius and discovers that he has a daughter, Altaira. They’re the only survivors of the first expedition, but the man seems very reticent to explain the details of what happened and the nature of the danger.
