Gort is a fictional humanoid robot in the 1951 American science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still and its 2008 remake. In the original short story Farewell to the Master, on which the two films are based, the character was called Gnut.ultural references[edit]. A life size replica of the 1951 Gort is on display at the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle.[4] A photo of Gort, with Ringo Starr (as Klaatu), appears on the cover of Starr's 1974 Goodnight Vienna album. In episode 3 of Freaks and Geeks, Sam dresses as Gort for Halloween.
