Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play. A craft lands in Washington and an alien appears. He's come to speak to the leaders of the world in the hope that he can convince them of the danger that Earth is in. Finally he is forced to show his true powers to teach mankind a lesson.

Robert Wise directs this adaptation of the novel by Harry Bates. When a non-threatening alien (Michael Rennie) comes to Earth in 1951 with a message of peace, he is shot and wounded by nervous troops. Seeing this as an act of aggression, his ten-foot robot Gort (Lock Martin) immediately renders all Earth's weapons useless while the alien delivers an ultimatum to the world: stop fighting or be destroyed.
