Based on the Harry Bates’ 1940 short story Farewell to the Master, this is one of the finest, purest science fiction classics of all time. Today it is also appreciated as a wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s and provides a social parable with religious motifs. A gentle alien messenger named Klaatu (Michael Rennie) and robot, GORT, arrive with a warning for the people of Earth — their irresponsible testing and use of nuclear power would not be tolerated, or allowed to be carried into space. “You must learn to live in peace,” Klaatu warns, “or face obliteration.” — Jay Duncan
