The robot in Washington is "The Day the Earth Stood Still", with Micheal
Renne and Patricia Neal, with cameos by a whole bunch of character actors
including Sam Jaffe. Micheal Renne played the alien, Klaatu, and the robot
was named Gort. Klaatu's "miracle" to prove his civilization's power was to
interrupt all electrical service (including car batteries, but excluding
hospitals, airplanes in flight, etc), at high noon. This is the movie where
that famous line "Klaatu brata nictu" comes from.
