Summary: The Day the Earth Stood Still is 20th Century Fox’s
contemporary reinvention of its 1951 classic. Klaatu, an alien
who arrives on our planet, triggers a global upheaval. As
governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind
the visitor’s appearance, a woman and her young stepson son get
caught up in his mission – and come to understand the
ramifications of Klaatu calling himself a “friend to the Earth.”
