Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Jules follows Milton (Kingsley) who lives a quiet life of routine in a small western Pennsylvania town, but finds his day upended when a UFO and its extra-terrestrial passenger crash land in his backyard. Before long, Milton develops a close relationship with the extra-terrestrial he calls "Jules." Things become complicated when two neighbors (Harris and Curtin) discover Jules and the government quickly closes in. What follows is a funny, wildly inventive ride as the three neighbors find meaning and connection later in life - thanks to this unlikely stranger. Written by Bleecker Street |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Transforming actress Jade Quon into the alien took the makeup team four hours, none of the prosthetics were reusable, and new ones were constantly being made. The original plan was for Quon to get into makeup 12-15 times max, but it ended up being 30. See more » |
