Irwin Allen (1916-1991) was a producer, director, and writer who spent most of his career at 20th Century Fox, initially directing science-fiction films like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961, with Peter Lorre). After adapting Voyage as a television series in 1964, Allen launched a series of campy sci-fi shows: Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel, and Land of the Giants as well as a range of unsold pilots. In the seventies, Allen re-established himself as a producer of big budget disaster movies with all-star casts, beginning with The Poseidon Adventure and including The Towering Inferno and The Swarm (which he also directed).

Lost in Space was adapted as a feature film in 1998, with the Robot and a digital alien supplied by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
