The Man Who Fell to Earth

(The Man Who Fell to Earth)

Synopsis

Rise and fall of Thomas Jerome Newton, a visitor from a doomed planet. Who is Newton? Arriving one day at a remote Kentucky town, Newton has soon hired a New York lawyer to help him to found a mysterious, world-spanning industrial empire using his centuries-advanced technological advantage. As he takes on - and beats - every major US corporation, people can only guess at his true purpose: to save his dying world from agonising death by drought.

Newton's ageless fall from grace, as he becomes prey to lust as the simple, devoted, eternally horny, alcohol, business rivals and finally, the US Government, makes "The Man Who Fell To Earth" not only a bitingly caustic indictment of the modern world, but also a poignant commentary on the loneliness of the outsider...

A movie directed by Nicolas Roeg
