Starman

Jeff Bridges stars in this sci-fi drama directed by John Carpenter. While still suffering with grief from the loss of her husband, Jenny Hayden (Karen Allen) is shocked when an alien lands on Earth and takes on the form of her late partner. When he asks her to take him to Arizona to allow him to catch up with his rescue ship, the pair begin their journey, growing closer day by day.

Their progress is hindered however by a determined government agent (Richard Jaeckel) who hopes to capture the starman for scientific study.
