Who's up for a close encounter?

AdventureComedyScience Fiction

For the past 60 years, a space-traveling smart-ass named Paul has been locked up in a top-secret military base, advising world leaders about his kind. But when he worries he’s outlived his usefulness and the dissection table is drawing uncomfortably close, Paul escapes on the first RV that passes by his compound in Area 51. Fortunately, it contains the two earthlings who are most likely to rescue and harbor an alien on the run.

VIBE

This is a riotous, profanity-laced road trip through the American Southwest, blending sci-fi absurdity with a heartfelt buddy comedy. Expect sharp wit, a surprisingly charming alien, and a constant stream of pop culture references. It feels like a laid-back, laugh-out-loud adventure with a surprisingly sweet core.
