The classic cult series Lost in Space (1965-1968) features a volunteer group of space travelers who find themselves lost after a space trip designed to help the Earth relieve its population problem goes awry. On Oct. 16, 1997, a volunteer American family, made up of married scientists Dr. John Robinson (Guy Williams) and Dr. Maureen Robinson (June Lockhart), and their children, Judy (Marta Kristen), Penny (Angela Cartwright), and Will (Bill Mumy), board Jupiter 2 for a five and a half year flight to the Alpha Centauri system in order to colonize the system's third planet. Along for the ride is their pilot, Major Don West (Mark Goddard), and a life sized environmental control robot. But thanks to the traitorous efforts of Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris), an enemy agent, the trip is sabotaged. The hopelessly lost crew, along with Dr. Smith, must fight to survive while looking for a way home.
