    I saw this movie as a child in the 1960's and never forgot it. Watching it again over 50 years later I appreciated even more the story and the excellent special effects and scenography, used not as a goal in itself but to support the development of the story. This movie is way better than most of the hundreds of sci-fi movies released in the 50's, and one of the few I really appreciated.

      A stranger descends from the sky. He has a message of peace and understanding. He is met with distrust and fear by those in power, but wins friends among those that really listen to him. He is seemingly capable of performing miracles. He is betrayed by a man hoping for great wealth. He is imprisoned, and later killed. He is resurrected from the dead, and repeats his message, this time with a warning. He then ascends into the sky. His name is Carpenter.
      Sound like any other story you know? The plot of the film was actually based on the story of Jesus.

I sure wish someone today would attempt to create a sci - fi film with absolutely NO computers, CGI, or digital effects .

      Bernard Herrmann was the composer. He enjoyed composing for Sci-Fi / fantasy films (Fahrenheit 451, Jason and the Argonauts, Mysterious Island). He liked to experiment with different instrumentations. Here he used percussion and wind instruments, no strings. He also employed the Theremin, the first electronic instrument. That is what produces all of those strange, spooky sounds in the film.

The United Nations are about as unholy of a group as they come because nobody is united. Morals are absent in every aspect of society with corporate greed being the driving factor behind most decisions. Most people are so programmed by the Tell A Vision now they can't even figure out what sex they are let alone anything else like critical thinking skills. The entire science FICTION in movies was to program people into thinking we can go to some distant world. We can't go anywhere, we never will go anywhere because governments are into controlling the masses, indoctrinating our youth, and several generations of young people are devoid of any morals, decency, or discretion.

      @stephenhill8790, The so called environmental, or climate change lie is to get people to go along with the one world order of control. Pretty much all of the science fiction in movies programs people to accept the governments version of events as fact. The ones doing the most environmental damage is the governments themselves, weather control, control of all media and the narrative, and of course starting endless wars to make a lot of money for corporate greed. This cycle of violence by the governments against the people must stop but it will never stop because of the evil forces behind every institution, and system of government. Even the foundations of morality have been distorted and even corrupted by the religions, which are in and of themselves other means of controlling the masses. The poisoning of the water, food, and the the corruption from everything from the financial, to the medical system must stop. The most basic way to understand at what point we are as a society worldwide, is simply Revelation 9:21.The entire world would not repent of their murders(abortion, wars, poisoning everything), they would not repent of their sorcery( pharmacy, fluoride in drinking water, GMO foods etc. the list is quite long), their sexual immorality( gays, pronouns, sexual perversion, children being sexually abused,etc.etc.) and of course the massive theft by a few large corporations the likes to which have never been seen( The Federal Reserve, IMF, banks, corporations like Amazon, so called "communications"companies, the list is quite long).
      Another words the simple way to understand why society is about to implode is because nobody wants to deviate from their total lack of moral values. People also lack the decency, common sense, and moral values needed to further humanity as a whole. Sheeple just staring at screens, redundant communications, and a bunch of lazy people to consumed with social media, and sensationalism, to even function on even the most basic levels of decency or respect for others. The science fiction mind control in movies even paints a picture that people could all get along (like a star trek federation), but the reality is people will never get along absent of morals towards one another. It's not even about religion so much is it's about a spiritual sickness in people's hearts, that can't and never will be fixed by any political solution. It must come from people's hearts, without that most of humanity will be wiped out by the so called "elite", which are neither elite, special, or decent in any way. The controllers are the ones who have to go, and the people need to understand who the real enemy is, and quit fighting and killing one another in wars and political nonsense, and doing the one world orders dirty work for them.

    I was a boy when Star Wars Return of the Jedi was released. The corresponding action figure toys of Jabba the Hutt’s henchmen in the Sarlacc Pit scene were named Klaatu, Barada, and Nikto. They were eventually eventually forced to change all three names due to copyright laws. But if I remember correctly, they were able to use the names for the anniversary reissue around 1997-1998.
    (There was a fourth one named Weequay which HAS to be a reference to the character Queequeg, the tattooed harpooner from Moby Dick. But that’s a tale for another time!)

    Poor Klaatu, he comes offering a gift and gets a typical American greeting, a gunshot! Enter Gort who zaps the weapons into oblivion. Love this movie, which is one of my favorite sci-fi films with Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956). Great stuff.

    I'm 73 I have lost track of how many times I have watched this. The special FX of today started with movies like this without the use of computers.

    What really impressed me was that soldier in the beginning, standing there with 40 tons of tank making that skidding turn just a few yards in front of him. Man doesn't even budge. Movie or not the guy had some big yayas.

      Also it looks like the road has been hosed down with water to allow the tanks to slide.

    Only a few years ago since I found out that Michael Rennie wasn’t American but British,gets even more weird when I found out he was born in Bradford and lived 2 miles up the road from me in Idle.
