About this movie

Two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey and Academy Award nominee Jeff Bridges star in this spellbinding, often humorous story of a mysterious stranger who defies convention, puzzles the experts and leaves everyone searching for the truth. A stranger who calls himself Prot (Spacey) seemingly appears out of nowhere following a disturbance at New York's Grand Central Station. Claiming to come from the distant planet K-PAX, Prot draws the attention of jaded Dr. Powell (Bridges), whose initial skepticism soon turns to fascination and amazement. Even a team of leading scientists are at a loss to explain Prot's detailed knowledge of the star system he calls home. But with Prot's return to K-PAX fast approaching, the search for answers intensifies and the mystery takes on pulse-quickening proportions. Featuring unforgettable performances and surprising turns, it's a thrilling story that "Keeps you guessing right to the end!" (ABC Radio)

Ratings and reviews

Was a beautiful film full with emotions and intellectual thinking! A movie that allows you to expand your conscious and thought process enabling you to create your own theory on what the truth behind the story is. I fall in love with this film every time I watch it. It is amazing to know there are people out their with such brilliant minds to come up with such a unique story like this one! K-PAX is a definite plus in my book especially if you enjoy movies that make you think deeper beyond the basic concepts of knowledge.

This is one of my favorite movies. I love science fiction! When I am in awkward social situations, I tell ppl I am from K-Pax. It's funny when peiple know the movie and aren't sure if I'm serious or have no clue and then adk where it is and I get to explain some astronomy. I usually done have to worry about taking to that person twice. ROFL! This movie is just awesone!!

Bridges and Spacey are phenominal together. Their moving journey through the power and complexity of the human psychy is as enlightening as it is frightening. A truly thoughtful movie that will leave you contemplating your self.
