Lost in Space (1998 film) is an American science-fiction adventure film directed by Stephen Hopkins, and starring William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, and Gary Oldman. The plot is adapted from the 1965–1968 CBS television series of the same name (itself inspired by the 1812 novel The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss). Several actors from the TV show make cameo appearance. The film focuses on the Robinson family, who undertake a voyage to a nearby star system to begin large-scale emigration from a soon-to-be uninhabitable Earth, but are thrown off course by a saboteur and must try to find their way home. Lost in Space received negative reviews, and grossed $136.2 million worldwide. In 2058, Earth will soon be uninhabitable due to the irreversible effects of pollution and ozone depletion. In an effort to save humanity, the United Global Space Force is constructing two hypergates, one over Earth, the other over the planet Alpha Prime, which will allow the population of Earth to be instantly transported to and populate the new planet. Professor John Robinson, his wife Maureen, daughters Judy and Penny, and young prodigy son Will are to go to Alpha Prime on the spaceship Jupiter II to help complete the hypergate there. Penny rebels by breaking curfew, while Will's prize-winning science experiment involving time travel goes largely unnoticed by John. Global Sedition, a mutant terrorist group, assassinates the Jupiter II's pilot, who is replaced by hotshot fighter pilot Major Don West, to his chagrin.
