The page is called "Gort! klaatu barada nikto" and originates from the Cold War-era science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). In the film, the phrase, "Klaatu barada nikto," was used by Helen Benson (Patricia Neal) to stop the robot Gort from destroying the Earth.[1] There is no known translation, although "Klaatu" is the name of the humanoid alien protagonist in the film.
