L'alieno Klaatu, atterrato negli Stati Uniti con un disco volante, chiede di vedere i leader dell'umanità per convincere le potenze mondiali a eliminare le armi nucleari. Accolto con ostile ottusità, cercherà di vivere in incognito e di conoscere gli umani: a guardia del disco rimane Gort, un silenzioso ma potentissimo robot.
