👽 The Day the Earth Stood Still (VHS)
A message for all mankind. The Day the Earth Stood Still is the 1951 sci-fi masterpiece that redefined the genre, blending Cold War tension, moral urgency, and timeless storytelling into one of cinema’s most unforgettable warnings from beyond the stars.
When a mysterious spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C., the world holds its breath. The visitor, Klaatu, and his powerful robot companion, Gort, come with an urgent message for humanity — one that could decide the fate of the planet. But fear, suspicion, and violence threaten to silence them before their warning can be heard.
