| Summary: | "A spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C.and an alien emerges, flanked by a menacing robot with destructive capabilities far beyond their imagination. Rebuffed in his efforts to meet the world's leaders and to warn them of the earth's impending doom, the alien, Klaatu, takes to the streets. Klaatu's plea for peace is embraced by a pretty young woman and an eminent scientist but the rest of humanity reacts with mistrust, fear and violence. With time running out, Klaatu is forced to demonstrate his awesome powers in a mind-boggling display, teaching all of mankind a lesson for the ages"--Container.
