    Storyline

    Edit
    The humanoid Kenn arrives from the future in a spaceship in the present days to save the future of mankind. He sees a billboard and assumes the form of the man in the advertisement. Then he tries to stop the car of the unemployed computer-expert Jonathan Driscoll on the road, but is accidentally hit by Jonathan. He takes Ken to the hospital and reports the accident. Meanwhile, the arrogant Dr. Galloway (Craig Wasson) and the military Brian Parish (Obba Babatundé) are hunting the spaceship and Kenn. Jonathan repairs Kenn and learns that the unsuccessful launch of a spacecraft in a couple of days is the landmark of the end of humanity. Further, another humanoid was sent to the past years ago but disappeared. Jonathan decides to help Kenn in his assignment. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    The Humanoid from the Future
    The humanoid Kenn (Julian Sands) arrives from the future in a spaceship in the present days to save the future of mankind. He sees a billboard and assumes the form of the man in the advertisement. Then he tries to stop the car of the unemployed computer-expert Jonathan Driscoll (Giancarlo Esposito) on the road, but is accidentally hit by Jonathan. He takes Ken to the hospital and reports the accident. Meanwhile, the arrogant Dr. Galloway (Craig Wasson) and the military Brian Parish (Obba Babatundé) are hunting the spaceship and Kenn. Jonathan repairs Kenn and learns that the unsuccessful launch of a spacecraft in a couple of days is the landmark of the end of humanity. Further, another humanoid was sent to the past years ago but disappeared. Jonathan decides to help Kenn in his assignment.

    "The Tomorrow Man" is a highly-entertaining TV Movie from the 90's that is still great. The plot seems to be a pilot of a promising TV series since there are many storylines that could be explored. The most important, the story has not aged. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "O Defensor do Futuro" ("The Defender from the Future")
