The safest course of action to adopt when we inevitably come into contact with ‘intelligent’ extraterrestrial entities is to presume nothing and expect anything. Our survival may very well depend on it.

Marooned (1969)
This tightly structured, well-acted and workmanlike film is beautifully directed and
neatly combines aspects of human behavior and technological dilemma.
