Aka: D.T.E.S.S.
Dr. Helen Benson is summoned to a military facility with several other scientist when an alien spacecraft of sorts arrives in New York City. Aboard is a human-like alien and a giant robot of immense size and power. The alien identifies himself as Klaatu and says he has come to save the Earth. The US military and political authorities see him as a threat however and decide to use so-called intensive interrogation techniques on him but Dr. Benson decides to facilitate his escape. When she learns exactly what he means when he says he is there to save the Earth, she tries to convince him to change his intentions.
Klaatu (Keanu Reeves), an extraterrestrial visitor to planet Earth, becomes the herald of upheaval on a global scale. As the world's governments and scientists race to understand what is happening and how to stop it, Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) and her stepson come to understand the chilling ramifications behind Klaatu's statement that he's a ``friend to the Earth.''
Keanu Reeves tops this adaptation of the seminal 1951 sci-fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still with this 20th Century Fox production. Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) helms the story of an alien traveler, Klaatu (Reeves), who heads to Earth along with his bodyguard robot, Gort, to deliver a warning of planetary destruction if the people of the world fail to stop laying waste to the environment. Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, and Kathy Bates co-star in the David Scarpa-penned film.
Een vertegenwoordiger van een buitenaards ras dat een drastische evolutie heeft doorgemaakt om haar eigen klimaatveranderingen te overleven, Klaatu (Keanu Reeves) komt naar de aarde om de mensen in te lichten, hoe slecht hun planeet er aan toe is. Klaatu, die reeds een negatieve indruk van het menselijk ras heeft, wordt opgesloten door de Verenigde Naties. Daarop besluit hij dat de mensheid moet worden uitgeroeid om de aarde te redden. Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) en haar stiefzoon Jacob (Jaden Smith) proberen Klaatu ervan te overtuigen dat het menselijk ras wel degelijk bestaansrecht heeft.
