Lost in Space

Stranded among stars

Lost in Space is an American science fiction television series (1965–1968) about a family stranded on an alien planet after their spacecraft goes off course.

The show spawned a 1998 film and a Netflix reboot (2018–2021).

The phrase has become shorthand for being hopelessly disoriented or out of touch: He's completely lost in space when it comes to technology.
