Planet 51 is a 2009 animated science fiction comedy film directed by Jorge Blanco from a script by Joe Stillman. Starring the voices of Dwayne Johnson, Justin Long, Jessica Biel, Gary Oldman, Seann William Scott, John Cleese and Freddie Benedict, the film follows an astronaut who lands on an alien planet, as one of the aliens helps him return to his ship while evading the military.
An international co-production between Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, the film was originally acquired for North American distribution by New Line Cinema, but then sold to Sony Pictures before completion. Originally titled Planet One, and later named as an allusion to Area 51, the film was completed on a $70 million budget, which, at the time of its release, was the most expensive film produced in Spain.
