Synopsis
“…a heartwarming sci-fi comedy about a truly unusual friendship.” - Movieweb 85% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with an Audience Score of 90% – Milton (Academy Award-winner Sir Ben Kingsley) is a small-town senior with a fading memory who leads a quiet life of routine in western Pennsylvania, until one late night when a loud boom wakes him from sleep. The next morning he finds that an extra-terrestrial spacecraft has crash landed in his backyard, destroying his bird bath and stranding its alien pilot. Milton invites the alien (Jade Quon) into his home, and the two — each one isolated in their own way — begin to develop a rapport. Soon Milton’s neighbors Sandy (Harriet Sansom Harris) and Joyce (Jane Curtin) discover the visitor whom they’ve nicknamed “Jules,” and together the trio conspire to keep Jules’ presence a secret from the town and from the government that is furiously searching for the mysterious craft.
