The Day the Earth Stood Still

County: Aug 3 Tues 7:00
Ambler: Aug 5 Thurs 7:00
A mysterious humanoid alien lands in Washington, D.C., with a warning to Earth’s people to cease their violent behavior. But panic erupts when a nervous soldier shoots the messenger, and his robot companion tries to destroy the capital. A sci-fi hallmark that offers wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s, this classic is less concerned with special effects than with its potent message.
