The future of the earth is in jeopardy and time is running out.
Will world leaders take heed of Klaatu's grim prophecy? Or is our
planet about to be destroyed?
Keanu Reeves gives a powerful performance as the iconic Klaatu and is joined by Jennifer Connelly, Kathy Bates and John Cleese.
Directed by Scott Derickson (‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’), ‘The
Day the Earth Stood Still’ is 20th Century Fox's contemporary
reinvention of its 1951 classic.
Keanu Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet
triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to
unravel the mystery behind the visitor's appearance, a woman (Jennifer
Connelly) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission – and come
to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described "friend
to the Earth."
Says Keanu Reeves, “This film is a cautionary tale about human
survival on the precipice and our relationship to the planet. It's
about the fact that it is only when our backs are up against the wall
that we do anything to change our behavior.”
