Creator/JohnCarpenter's 1984 film ''Starman'' is a kind of ''[[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]]'' for adults, played as a RoadTripPlot of all things. Fans will argue that it's a beautiful, beautiful love story between [[AlienAmongUs a man from the stars]] (Creator/JeffBridges) and an Earthling woman (Creator/KarenAllen) while dissenters will argue that it's a mediocre ClicheStorm.
Starman arrives on Earth as a result of Earth having transmitted welcome messages to any alien life, and clones himself an [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith environment suit]] -- the [[NakedOnArrival naked]] form of Jenny Hayden's dead husband. Jenny is very freaked out by this, and at first only wants to get away from the freaky dead ringer for her dead husband. But she (eventually) agrees to take him to Winslow, Arizona, where he has his only chance to meet up with the other aliens and go home. Naturally, this leads to a long road trip (Starman has gotten dressed by this point) involving a lot of learning about life on Earth, bonding, and ultimately romance.
As usual, the military [[WeComeInPeaceShootToKill has it in for friendly aliens]]. They are led by the hard-as-nails George Fox (Richard Jaeckel) who wants to dissect or kill Starman. His obligatory MoralityPet Mark Shermin (Creator/CharlesMartinSmith) vainly attempts to convince him to do otherwise.

* AnimalMotifs: Creator/JeffBridges studied ornithology and the behavior of birds to prepare for his role as an alien in human form. He particularly used the sudden jerky head movements, amongst other nuances and mannerisms, of birds. He figured that the alien would not have human characteristics and, being encased in a human body, would act with base primitive animal instincts.
