    I saw this movie back in 1957 as a 14 year old kid. It was a time of Rock and Roll and young lovers walking hand and hand. Just 13 years after the atomic bombs were dropped, the Korean War and tensions in the world so tense, afraid of self destruction with atomic bombs. The makers of this movie have captured the way the world really was back then. Two of my older brothers were in the Korean War.

      I'm one of the last Boomers and my dad was just to young for Korea and by the time Vietnam heated up he had finished his total commitment at age 29, married with 2 kids so he was considered ineligible for the draft. I, myself, spent 2 years stationed in West Germany during the hottest part of the cold war and we expected things to go south any time. I think the portrayal of the Soviet Union was spot on, but I can only hope that the US would behave in such a sane way in a real crisis of faith and morals.

      @@kevinsullivan3448 Thank you Kevin and your dad for your service. Just 3 years after I saw this movie, I enlisted into the Army. That made me the youngest of the 5 Miller brothers who proudly server Our Country. I was stationed on a missile base guarding Buffalo and Niagara Falls area from the enemy. Little did we or the world realize how close the planet was about to be destroyed. You see, we were on missiles up high alert. The reason, it was the Cuban Missile Crisis, yep, we were so hyper because Russian would have sent their missiles over the North Pole and Canada, so naturally our bases would be the first thing destroyed. Because of the last surviving son act, my brother James was stationed in Japan, my brother John was stationed in Germany and I was safely tucked away in the middle, yeah, right! The 3 of us were all in the service at the same time but had to be kept separated. It was just like the movie Saving Private Ryan. My brothers Harold and Eugene had already served and were discharged. Yes, it was a terrifying moment in the world and all my brothers have passed away. At 79, it won’t be long before the 5 Miller brothers will once again be reunited.

      Thanks for your text, the device was theorised by Enrico Fermi I think in 1925, the device being the H bomb, either way the thing worked, I have been born between a sensation of fighting which ceased in 1945 with a atomic war almost started in 1961, war seems to be the normal state of human existence.

    Worthwhile and often overlooked 1957 sci-fi film which doesn't receive the buzz it deserves. A fine take on ideas presented in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) & similar 50s flicks. That THE STREAM posted The 27th Day speaks to a deeper level of appreciation for and knowledge of the genre. Nice. An underrated classic.

    • @michaelkottler

      And btw, would we, in reality, pass this test? I think it depends on the individuals selected, their personalities, temperaments, and socioeconomic (not to mention political) backgrounds. I like to think that, given the right group, we'd pass.
      One other item of potential note: How many civilizations were or are so noble that their ontology prevents invasion, especially of a technologically inferior potential colony/new home, even to save themselves from otherwise certain doom?
      Also, it's worth noting that The 27th Day established a number of film tropes still in use today and featured in numerous feature-length and short films especially in the science fiction and horror genres but I'll let you determine for yourselves which situations and themes The 27th Day helped make "a thing".
      If you enjoy The 27th Day I'd recommend, of course, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Red Planet Mars (w/Peter Graves) and of course It Conquered the World (both because it too reflects salient aspects of Cold War attitudes and concerns (not to mention sheer paranoia and xenophobia) and also because it stars both Peter Graves and Lee Van Cleef he he) among a number of 50s sci-fi movies that feature Cold War mentality themes including the epoch-making Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).
      Finally, The 27th Day contains a number of now anachronistic and frequently amusing (and at times either offensive or even frightening) bits of dialogue as do all films which reflect well the time in which they were conceived and produced. A minor example of 50s-centric dialogue in The 27th Day includes:
      "Rock and roll".
      "What is it?"
      "Music, almost".
      In any event, one of the more underrated and virtually unheard-of 50's sci-fi gems that's well-worth a screening.

      I beg to differ. This movie has the morality of a fanatical zealot who thinks its okay to murder anyone who disagrees with him. The aliens are completely dishonest dicks who trick humanity into exterminating part of itself, because apparently, that will make us worthy in their eyes, and they're too "moral" to do it themselves.
      In addition, the character of Eve serves no purpose except to be a love interest for Jonathan. She never does a damn thing, because this is 1957 and women can't do things. Why does she even go to see Jonathan in the first place? She doesn't try to convince him to use or not use the pellets, so why is she even there? Because she needs a man to comfort her? Then why doesn't she go to her friend Harry the painter instead traveling from England to Los Angeles to see a man she barely knows? Makes no sense.
      Then, when the Soviets open their box and threaten the U.S. with it, why doesn't the U.S. just threaten them right back? Jonathan has a box, and he could be anywhere in the world, so if the Soviets use their box, Jonathan can retaliate, and we have another stalemate and nothing has really changed. Come to that, how could we even be sure the Soviets were telling the truth when they say they've opened their box? Why would we believe them when we only have their word on it? No, none of this makes any sense. But if anyone realized this, the movie would be over.

    Yesterday I watched "Earth vs. the Flying Saucers." Today it's this. I am enjoying older classics much more nowadays. They seem to have a logical sense to their narrative that is markedly absent in filmmaking today. It's hard to tell a good story when 90% of a film's budget is spent on CGI effects.

      And when studio execs keep rewriting scripts and when each movie has to fit in or launch a cinematic universe. It’s amazing the movies today have such amazing FX technology but I prefer these movies. Also, so often there isn’t a single relatable person that you care about, everyone is a jerk or nonentity. I saw that Scorsese movie everyone is praising and have never been so bored. The native Americans were passive nonentities and the crooks weren’t just repulsive but boring. Compare that to Goodfellas. They were terrible human beings but they were interesting

    I watched this movie as a child. And as a science teacher, I used this movie as a great illustration about the concepts of time and relativity. The alien states that because they are traveling at near the speed of light, time has sopped. The man looks down at his watch which is stopped. That is an interesting understanding of the concept of time: it is only something that is measured by a watch. If time had stopped, there would be no "time" to look at his watch. Also, special relativity states that everyone in an inertial time frame would measure time normally. Everyone and everything on the ship, including the watch, would experience time as normal. It would only be when someone on the ship compared time with someone who stayed on earth that the difference would be seen.

In relativity, the heartbeats and watch ticks of the people on Earth should stop!
      And climate change is a hoax; I remember the days of "Ecology" back in 1970. The world of overpopulation and Soylent Green never came to pass. We've got at least another hundred years to correct things, and I think we will.

    This very fine film should not be missed. It is a complex story wonderfully written. The cast is altogether excellent with great performances by all. I can't praise them enough. It proves that great films can be made with a limited budget. Released in 1957. it is not nearly as well known as it so highly deserves to be. In its very simple. direct way, it is a masterpiece. The remastering of the film gives us a beautiful print. I am grateful it has been retained in the original black and white. I can only repeat, this very fine film should not be missed.

      - therefore you will loose no time, :) they will loose gazillion of millenia and a few years more, if they travel at 100% light speed (time-dilation was already known in 1957, obviously not by the 'intelligent' scripters)
      - and then the alien says: "forgive me time is short" - now what ? time stands still and now no time
      just for fun, continuing watching an intelligent script

    This film is based on a fascinating premise! Unfortunately, it concludes with a silly, cartoonish ending. What I really love is that they remastered this in high-definition! Now I just noticed they have one of my favorite films "The Day the Earth Stood Still" available for viewing here on TH-cam also, but that is still only in 480p mode. Surely TDTESS deserves to be remastered to 1080p too.

    The great Arnold Moss also appeared as Kodos, The Executioner, in the Star Trek episodes The Conscience of The King. He has a terrific voice and was a great actor.

    Apart from the obvious strengths of this movie: holy moly, what a stunt when the scientist is hit by the car! Though it is easy to note that the stuntman does not actually get hit by the second car, this is one of the boldest stunts I‘ve ever seen. The trust between the two car drivers and the walking stuntman is incredible (maybe the second car was tied to a rope to stop its path at the correct spot, but nevertheless…).

      Yes, I noticed that fine stunt too. The only thing it lacks is a good angle, if only the camera had been placed further to the right, you would never have been able to see that the car didn't actually make contact. Nevertheless, one of the best stunts I've ever seen.

      About the time this movie was made, there was a guy who was a professional at getting hit by a car for insurance money and not get hurt who showed exactly how he did it. He didn't do it with stunt drivers or tricks or anything. He had impeccable timing and would walk in front of an unsuspecting driver and get hit and not get hurt but would put on a damned good act.

    Very, very, very, unique story line. Very unusual. No monsters. No ray guns. A psychological thriller.
    There is another sci fi out there that I am VERY surprised wasn't made into a movie yet. I think it is called "First Contact" by Robert Heinlein. The story goes that humans traveling through deep uncharted space meet aliens for the first time. There are things to be considered from that point on and the story covers them in as interesting a way as this own did here.

    This is a seriously good sci fi film of its time. An engaging story, well scripted and acted. Like all the best sci fi, the film uses fantasy to comment on real world concerns. You can see the film as as an allegory of the nuclear arms race and hints at the frightening concept of mutually assured destruction.

    It's nice to see a sci-fi movie where the fate of humanity is a hopeful and positive one! I hope the same for our broken planet.

    "Su Tan" was played by Maria Lim Bi Yao (Chinese: 林碧瑶; February 4, 1925 - November 2, 2020), known professionally as Maria Tsien (sometimes also credited as Marie Tsien and Maria Tsien McClay) was an American film and television actress in the 1950s and 1960s. She was often cast in productions that were set in Asia, to fill out non-Asian casts.

    The whole premise was really hard for me to understand. I had to replay what the alien said and still did not get it. What was the whole point of giving the people the "capsules"? Were they hoping humanity would destroy itself through these five individuals because they wanted Earth but their "moral code" would not permit killing off humans? If so, what incentive would the 5 people have to use the capsules? That's what I really don't get here. What were those 5 supposed to do with them? It seems ridiculous to me, but I'm not getting it.

    Note that the "Soviet General" (Stalin sans mustache) was played by Stefan Schnabel, who was the younger son of classical pianist Artur Schnabel; also that the recalcitrant "Soviet Marshal" (with mustache) was played by Mel Wells, who highly resembled Georgi Malenkov.
