A humanoid alien lands on Earth seeking water to save his dying planet. Using his home’s advanced technology, he patents several inventions—soon becoming the head of a tech conglomerate. But as he awaits the construction of a homeward-bound spaceship, the alien falls prey to earthly delights.
David Bowie somehow found time amidst his iconoclastic recording career to put this extraordinary, alien performance to film. This was a perfect meeting of minds: Nicolas Roeg, the great experimenter of narrative forms, and Bowie, the undefinable mystery, together conjure up a masterwork of sci-fi.
