Ultimátum a la Tierra (1951)
El mundo entero queda conmocionado el día en que, sin previo aviso, un O.V.N.I. aterriza en Washington y de él sale Klaatu, un alienígena de aspecto humano, acompañado de Gort, un androide. Klaatu pide reunirse simultáneamente con todos los gobernantes de la Tierra, para entregarles un mensaje muy importante, pero su petición es rechazada. Klaatu se da cuenta de que necesita comprender mejor cómo viven los humanos y, para ello, se hospeda en la casa de una mujer, madre de un chico, con el que Klaatu traba amistad.
