Forbidden Planet

1956

A starship crew is sent to the planet Altair IV to check on a colony expedition that vanished twenty years earlier — and finds only two survivors: reclusive scientist Dr. Morbius, his daughter Altaira, and Robby, a robot of his own design. Morbius has uncovered the remains of a vanished super-civilization and its incomprehensible technology, but something invisible and murderous is still guarding its secrets — something that may be coming from inside Morbius himself.

New York City, 2022: forty million people are crammed into a metropolis choking on pollution and starvation, and most of the population survives on rations of a mysterious, government-distributed wafer called Soylent Green. When a wealthy executive of the company that makes it is murdered, hard-bitten detective Frank Thorn's investigation uncovers a conspiracy far worse than the killing itself — a secret buried in exactly what Soylent Green is actually made of.

Westworld

1973

At Delos, a luxury resort populated entirely by lifelike androids, wealthy guests live out fantasies in perfectly recreated Western, medieval and Roman worlds — free to gunfight, romance, or duel robotic hosts programmed to lose every time. When a software failure begins spreading through the park's systems, the hosts stop following the script, and a implacable, silent Gunslinger android starts hunting a guest for real.

Logan's Run

1976

In a domed city of endless pleasure centuries after civilization's collapse, every citizen lives in comfort until the age of thirty — at which point they're required to submit to Carousel, a ritual execution disguised as reincarnation. Logan 5, an enforcer tasked with hunting down citizens who try to run rather than submit, is ordered to go undercover as a runner himself — and begins to question everything his society has told him about what actually happens after the crystal in his palm turns black.
