Forbidden Planet (1956)

 

One of the first film roles Leslie Nielsen was ever in and long before he came to be known for his comedic chops, this is a great classic science fiction film. Nielsen plays Commander Adams who leads the crew to Altair IV to find out what happened to an expedition that was sent there 20 years before. They find the only two members of the expedition still alive, Dr. Edward Morbius and his daughter Altaria. Morbius warns everyone that there is some sort of evil force on the planet that killed the other members of the expedition and tells them to leave. Adams refuses and this causes the evil force to target the C-57D. The reveal at the end is still one of the best plot twists in cinema.
