[Cincinatus]

The original story upon which the film is based had an even more disturbing twist: Gort was not Klaatu's robot servant, he was his master. This astonishingly fascist notion is hinted at in the movie where Klaatu remarks in regard to the peace-keeping robots that "in this area, we have given them absolute authority over us."

Sounds swell. Where do I sign up for this cosmic utopia?
