Description

At the height of the Cold War, a flying saucer lands in Washington: envoy Klaatu and his powerful robot Gort, delegated by the federation of planets, arrive in it to deliver an ultimatum to the peoples of Earth to stop nuclear testing. Panicked military personnel open fire on the spaceship and wound the envoy. Klaatu realizes that the only way to come to an agreement with earthlings is to get to know them from the inside: he escapes from the hospital and begins his own exploration of the planet.
