They decide to take us up on our offer and send an anthroplogist down to check us out. Some hokey science prevents their landers from coming down just anywhere, something to do with the Earths magnetic field. The starman is headed for a landing at Metoer Crater (Arizona?), but gets shot down by the Air Force while somewhere over Michigan. (I'll let you figure that one out.) Unable to live in Eaths atmosphere, he clones the body of a human to live in while he travels to Arizona to be picked up by his friends. The bulk of the film revolves aaround his his adventures during his cross country trip, and the fun he has falling in love with an Earth girls (talk about star crossed lovers...). The whole time the Air Force has guys out combing the woods for him, and chasing him on his road trip. The special effects are good, and the actings not too bad. If you like science fiction (whether good,bad, or indifferent) then you should do as Joe Bob says and 'Check it out'.
