A U.K. quad poster from the promotion of Fred McLeod Wilcox's sci-fi adventure film Forbidden Planet. Loosely based on the plot of William Shakespeare's The Tempest, Forbidden Planet is considered a pioneer in the science fiction genre, debuting cutting-edge special effects, high production and design values.It was one of the first movies to include a robotic character that displayed human qualities.

The vibrantly colored U.K. quad is one of the scarcest formats for the title and features Robby the Robot - who featured heavily on the film's worldwide advertising campaign - holding Altaira (Anne Francis). The background consists of a planet-filled landscape, mountains and the subterranean Krell city. Presented linen-backed, the poster exhibits some light restoration and touch-ups to the female's body, light creasing along the top edge, and the fold lines have been flattened out. Dimensions: 30" x 40" (76 cm x 102 cm)

Estimate: $10,000 - 15,000Δ
