    Star Trek was considered big budget television in the 1960s. It was early peak broadcast television made to show off colour technology.

    Roddenberry modeled and pitched the original pilot (The Cage) on MGM’s movie Forbidden Planet, which was the most expensive science fiction movie to date when it was made in the mid 50s.
