The Day the Earth Stood Still

"The Day the Earth stood still" is the 20th Century Fox contemporary reinvention of the classic 1951. Keanu Reeves describes Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery visitor's appearance, a woman (Jennifer Connelly) and her young step-son get caught up in its mission - and to understand the consequences of his self-described "Friend of the Earth."
