The Man Who Fell to Earth -- Thomas Jerome Newton (David Bowie) is a humanoid alien who comes to Earth to get water for his dying planet. He starts a high technology company to get the billions of dollars he needs to build a return spacecraft.

Thomas Jerome Newton, a mysterious and complex personality, appears in New York. Despite his curiously frail physical presence, the strength of his intellect and scientific knowledge appear to transcend contemporary human experience. His inventions are of such originality that they will revolutionize the nation's systems of communication, and lead, in approximately three years, to the creating of the largest corporate empire in the United States ...

David Bowie stars as Thomas Jerome Newton, an alien from a dry, dying world who journeys to Earth to save his planet. But instead, Newton becomes enamored with the ways of human life on Earth -- especially sex, booze and television.

In this reimagining of the sci-fi classic, humanoid alien John Dory's (Lewis Smith) ship crashes on Earth. When our science can't fix the craft, Dory enters the business world and rises to the top of the tech industry. His race to complete the repairs is dogged by sinister government agents, and nearly cut short altogether by his attraction to a single mother (Beverly D'Angelo). Wil Wheaton, Annie Potts, Bruce McGill, and Robert Picardo co-star.
