The Day the Earth Stood Still : In 1928, on an expedition in the snowy Karakoram mountains of India, a mountaineer encounters a glowing sphere. He touches it and then finds himself awakening after a sudden loss of consciousness, with the sphere now gone and a scar on his hand.In the present day, the United States government hastily assembles a group of scientists, including Princeton professor Dr. Helen Benson to formulate a survival plan when it is feared that a large unknown object with a speed of approximately one-tenth the speed of light, is due to impact Manhattan.The object slows down just before impact and is revealed to be a large spherical spaceship, which lands gently in Central Park. An alien emerges from the sphere and finds himself surrounded by a hostile, heavily armed US military force. Amidst the confusion and lack of clear chain of command, a soldier shoots the alien. A gigantic robot then emerges to protect the alien by emitting an energy wave that temporarily paralyzes humans and disrupts all electrical systems in New York City. The alien voices the command "Klaatu barada nikto" to shut down the robot's defensive attacks.
