THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL – 3 COPIES
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 befriend him…and soon realize that they may be all that stands between the human race and total destruction.
This new two-disc release includes new commentaries, an isolated score track, new featurettes on the making of TDtESS, as well as brings over most of the original features that were included as part of the film’s first DVD release.
