A departure for director John Carpenter, STARMAN is a gentle, simple film that won accolades from critics and applause from audiences. Jeff Bridges plays the title character, an alien that has come down to Earth on a peaceful scouting mission. When he takes the form of a recently widowed woman's dead husband he unintentionally involves her in his mission. The alien only has a few days to reach a rendezvous point where he will be picked up by his mothership. Along the way he must discover what he can about human beings and our civilization. He finds out plenty very quickly, as his relationship with the young widow grows very strong as they make their way to the rendezvous point. Meanwhile, the FBI is in hot pursuit after it discovers the discarded landing vehicle, and the alien's own health is deteriorating in Earth's foreign atmosphere. The story tells of the struggle for communication, the pain of letting go, and the search for understanding. Jeff Bridges gives an unforgettable performance as the gentle alien trying his best to cope with being a human. With STARMAN, Carpenter proves he is a master storyteller, not just of horror and science fiction, but of subtle, emotional drama as well.

Great Science Fiction idea. Well acted, and the movie moves along well. Makes you like the good guys, and hate the bad guys. You can almost beleive this could happen.

Starman was one of the best "quiet" films of the 1980s. People who saw the film remember it fondly. Jeff Bridges (Academy Award nomination) and Karen Allen have as much chemistry as Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, or Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. The "message" is not lost on the filmgoer today. Modest special effects keep the story within a human frame. A lovely, timeless movie!
