American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker lands on Planet 51 thinking he's the first person to step foot on it. To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders...like Chuck!

Storyline
Lem is just an average teenager working on getting the girl and furthering his career at the local planetarium - except that he's an alien. At least to U.S. astronaut Captain Charles T. Baker who lands on Lem's planet hoping for a quick flag plant and a hasty return to earth and his millions of screaming fans. But on this alien planet the media has tagged spacemen as brain-eating, zombie-creating monsters, causing Baker to run for his life and into Lem's house. Now it's up to the green native to get the clumsy astronaut back to his spaceship before military dictator General Grawl and mad scientist Professor Kipple manage to exterminate the Earthly visitor. Written by The Massie Twins

Trivia
Even though much on the alien planet is round in design, nothing has wheels. Aztecs were one of the few, ancient civilizations to not only hypothesize about alien life, but never used wheels. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: When the soldiers are removing items from Chuck's spacecraft, one of them drops an Ipod which begins loudly playing music for all to hear. Ipods don't have speakers, just a jack for headphones. See more »Quotes
