Thomas Jerome Newton is an extraterrestrial from the planet Anthea,
which has been devastated by a series of nuclear wars, and whose
inhabitants are twice as intelligent as human beings. When he lands
on Earth - in Kentucky, disguised as a human - it's with the
intention of saving his own people from extinction. Newton patents
some very advanced Anthean technology, which he uses to amass a
fortune. He begins to build a spaceship to help the last 300
Antheans migrate to Earth. Meanwhile, Nathan Bryce, a chemistry
professor in Iowa, is intrigued by some of the new products
Newton's company brings to the market, and already suspects Newton
of being an alien. As Bryce and the FBI close in, Newton finds his
own clarity and sense of purpose diminishing.
