A spaceship lands in Washington D.C., capturing the attention of the world. But the alien emissary it brings refuses to reveal his mission to any single government, leaving the military, the politicians, and millions of ordinary people to wait in fear. Soon their distrust turns to calls for violence. But one young woman and her son, played by Patricia Neal and Billy Gray, befriend him…and soon realize that they may be all that stands between the human race and total destruction. A true classic for all ages that has stood the test of time. Screenplay by Edmund H. North, based on a story by Harry Bates. Produced by Julian Blaustein. Cinematographer: Leo Tover.
