Corrected entry: In the opening scene we see Sputnik orbiting the earth. On earth there is a hurricane raging on, which we shortly find out is off the coast of Maine. In 1957 the only hurricanes that took place were Hurricane Audrey (which hit Louisiana on June 27th) and Hurricane Carrie (which hit the Azores on September 17th). Carrie might have brushed Maine with its edges, but the hurricane in the movie can't have been Carrie due to Sputnik, which was launched October 4th.

Correction: There also wasn't a giant killer robot about in 1957. This is set in a fictional version of 1957 - anything can happen.
