From out of space...A warning and an ultimatum.
1951 · 1h 32m · G
Drama, Science Fiction, Thriller
Directed by
Robert Wise
An alien and a robot land on Earth after World War II and tell mankind to be peaceful or face destruction.
Top critics, in their words
The Day the Earth Stood Still may at first look like goofy, outdated science fiction, but its timeless warnings about violence, nuclear confrontation and the difficulties of policing the planet have made it an enduring cultural classic.
Like most of Robert Wise's work, this slickly constructed 1951 science fiction film settles squarely in the middle of its genre, better than some and worse than others.
Today, wistful viewers might ask: Where are Klaatu and Gort when we need them most?
It is comforting, of course, to have it made plain that our planetary neighbors are much wiser and more peaceful than are we, but this makes for a tepid entertainment in what is anamolously labeled the science-fiction field.
Cast, although secondary to the story, works well.
