The phrase "Klaatu barada nikto" originates from the 1951 Cold-War-era science fiction film The Day The Earth Stood Still. The phrase "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!" was used to stop Gort, the robot in the film, from destroying the world.
There is no known translation for the phrase, although "Klaatu" is the name of the humanoid alien protagonist in the film.

From the sci-fi cult classic movie, "The Day the Earth Stood Still".
This phrase was used to command the alien robot to retreive the space traveler from a hospital where he had been treated and died, and return him to the spaceship where he was brought back to life.
This movie is a classic because it had a powerful special-effect and a powerful message.
In a show of power the alien halted all electrical and fuel-powered motors worldwide (except in airplanes in flight and emergency rooms).
In the "speech scene" he says that they don't care if we exterminate humanity with our nuclear weapons, but if we take them into space and endanger other worlds, then Earth would be destroyed.
This movie makes a powerful early, anti-nuclear power statement.
