Synopsis
Fleeing the nuclear devastation of the wars that almost annihilate life on Anthea, the extraterrestrial Thomas Jerome Newton lands on Earth. He is disguised as a human, with the intention of saving his own people from extinction since they are twice as smart as humans. Newton patents some very advanced Anthean technology, which he uses to amass a fortune. He begins to build a spaceship to help the last 300 Antheans migrate to Earth. Meanwhile, Nathan Bryce, a chemistry professor in Iowa, is intrigued by some of the new products Newton's company brings to the market, and already suspects Newton of being an alien. As Bryce and the FBI close in, Newton finds his own clarity and sense of purpose diminishing.
