Gort (selected in 2006)

In the 1951 movie The Day The Earth Stood Still eight-foot high Gort was the bodyguard of an alien who came to deliver our planet an ultimatum - peacefully join other space-faring races or be destroyed.

Gort was inducted into the Hall of Fame for its lasting influence on the perception of robots, and inspiring the contemplation of how they may be used to effect both war and peace.
