RSC Tempest
On a distant island a man waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.
Forbidden Planet (1956)
Shakespeare's "The Tempest" is translated into outer space and updated to the 23rd century, where a rocket ship lands on a faraway planet to investigate the disappearance of settlers on an alien world. The crew discovers a scientist, his daughter and a highly intelligent robot named Robby.
The Tempest (2010)
In this adaptation of the Shakespeare play, exiled magician Prospera (Helen Mirren) uses her powers to create a tempest that delivers her enemies to the island she calls home, but the storm also brings a suitor for her daughter Miranda. Directed by Julie Taymor.
