The PCRB Film Club

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2022 at 7PM

The film chosen for the virtual session via Zoom is The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), directed by Robert Wise.

When a UFO lands in Washington, D.C., all of humanity stands still. Klaatu has come on behalf of alien life who have been watching Cold War-era nuclear proliferation on Earth, and his soft-spoken robot Gort presents an immediate threat to onlookers. A single mother and her son teach the world about peace and tolerance, ousting the tanks and soldiers that greet the alien's arrival.

Please watch the film on your own before the session. A limited number of copies will be available at the library starting March 7th. The film is also available for streaming on AMAZON PRIME.
