The Day the Earth Stood Still remains one of the definitive American sci-fi classics for its mix of alien invasions and cultural commentary. The soft-spoken Klaatu and his robot Gort emerge from a spaceship that’s landed next to the White House, sending Washington DC into a panic. World leaders are suspicious of Klaatu’s “I come in peace” message, and the shooting begins. Once healed, Klaatu has to go undercover as a human to continue his work. (92 mins., 4K DCP)
