A U.S. half sheet poster from the promotion of Robert Wise's 1951 sci-fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still. Considered a classic within the genre, Wise's film saw interplanetary traveler Klaatu (Michael Rennie) as he offered an ultimatum for the human race - peace or destruction.

One of the major characters within the movie is the death ray-emitting Gort (Lock Martin), who is recognized as one of the greatest robots in cinema history. This poster shows Klaatu, Gort firing his death-ray while holding Helen Benson (Patricia Neal) and the Earth firmly in the clutches of an alien hand. Presented conservation-paper-backed, the poster exhibits a faint fold line down the center, and small tears to the right and left edge. Dimensions: 22" x 28" (56 cm x 71 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000Δ
