A remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi film, The Day the Earth Stood Still centers on an alien named Klaatu (Reeves, The Matrix series). Upon his arrival on Earth, a massive glowing sphere in Central Park appears, accompanied by a towering robot-like protector dubbed Gort. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor's appearance, an astrobiologist Helen Benson (Connelly, He’s Just Not That Into You) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission. When Klaatu finds himself faced with uncompromising officials, he goes on the run with Benson and her son as the fate of the world gradually becomes clear.

“An entertaining rethink of the 1951 classic” – Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Enquirer
