The Brother from Another Planet (1984)

Comedy, Sci-Fi
Fisher Stevens, Giancarlo Esposito, David Strathairn, Olga Merediz
The Brother is an alien who has crash-landed on Earth, in New York City. While mute, strongly empathic, and able to fix things, he resembles a Black man with strange feet. His attempt to make a place for himself in Harlem is an allegory for the immigrant experience in the United States. Meanwhile, two bounty hunters from the Brother's home planet arrive and try to capture him.—Reid Gagle
