About
A scientific experiment unknowingly brings extraterrestrial life forms to the Earth through a laser beam. First is the cigar-smoking drake, Howard, from the duck's planet. A few kids try to keep him from the greedy scientists and help him back to his planet, but then a much less friendly being arrives through the beam...
An eighties fever dream of laser beams and cigar-smoking waterfowl lands you squarely in a bizarre, neon-soaked version of reality. This oddball relic captures a specific era of practical effects and surrealist whimsy that feels entirely unrepeatable.
