Info from Lotusland:

STARMAN

Starring Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen.

Also starring Charles Martin Smith and Richard Jaeckel.

Directed by John Carpenter. Produced by Larry D. Franco.

Music by Jack Nitzsche.

From Columbia Pictures. (1984)

 Bridges plays an alien stranded on earth with only three days to
 get to his mothership. He must cross the U.S. to Meteorite
 Crater in Arizona. To make it, Bridges assumes the form of Karen
 Allen's dead husband.

 It has been widely reported that Columbia Pictures was incredibly stupid
 to have spent about a million dollars developing _E_._T_._ _t_h_e_ _E_x_t_r_a_t_e_r_r_e_s_t_r_i_a_l
 and then to have passed on the film because they thought it would only
 appeal to kids. What is not so widely known is that the _S_t_a_r_m_a_n property
 has been at Columbia since 1980. Columbia decided to do _S_t_a_r_m_a_n instead
 of _E_._T_. because they thought it would appeal to adults as well. Hollywood
 grapevine has it that the film is pretty good.
