About this movie

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.

Ratings and reviews

An insightful androgynous being fell to earth showing that being human doesn't classify what it is to really be what we call a human being and by his actions defined our very own humanity. This film is a masterpiece well beyond its years and even current media. A homage to the genre of film and to David Bowie.

Didn't age well
