Warning from Beyond
The original movie tells the story of Klaatu, an alien messenger. Klaatu is sent to Earth to warn its inhabitants to change their ways or face the consequences. When his flying saucer lands in Washington, he is shot by a nervous soldier. Klaatu is taken to a military hospital, but escapes to learn more about Earth. He meets Helen and her son Billy who are sightseeing in Washington. At the Abraham Lincoln Memorial, Klaatu reads the Gettysburg Address* and realises there is still hope for Earth after all. He eventually admits to Helen that he is an alien who has come to warn earthlings of the danger they pose to themselves. He informs her that they must work together to help save the planet, because trouble is ahead.
