A hallmark of the science fiction genre as well as a wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s, The Day the Earth Stood Still is a sci-fi movie less concerned with special effects than with a social parable. A spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C., carrying a humanoid messenger from another world (Michael Rennie) imparting a warning to the people of Earth to cease their violent behavior. But panic ensues as the messenger lands and is shot by a nervous soldier. His large robot companion destroys the Capitol as the messenger escapes the confines of the hospital. He moves in with a family as a boarder and blends into society to observe the full range of the human experience. Director Robert Wise (West Side Story) not only provides one of the most recognizable icons of the science fiction world in his depiction of the massive robot loyal to his master, but he avoids the obvious camp elements of the story to create a quiet and observant story highlighting both the good and the bad in human nature. --Robert Lane

Customer Reviews of The Day the Earth Stood Still

Science Fiction at it's Best
Please read all the other reviews if you want a plot synopsis. They have almost all done a wonderful job of explaining the storyline. My thank's goes out to all those who took the time to add a little extra history to an already facinating chapter in Science Fiction history. For those of us who live and breathe Science Fiction, The Day the Earth Stood Still was simply the beginning of intelligent film making. A simple movie that cannot be forgotten. Whatever your view of the politics evident in the film it is without a doubt an easily understood message brought to us in a wonderful cinematic package that stands the test of time.


Sci Fi At It's Best
This movie earned a Golden Globe and it's message still holds true today.


Campy Drama / Sci-Fi Classic
Who knew that actress Patricia Neal and good old Francis Bavier (Aunt Bea from Mayberry fame) would ever appear together, along with Michael Rennie, in this sci-fi-cult screamer of a black-and-white classic, and that we will forever remember the line: "Gort! Klaatu Barada nikto!" This item is worth having just as a peerless piece of 50's memorabilia! Get it, watch it... and Wikipedia it for little known factoids!
