For the past 60 years, a space-traveling smart-ass named Paul has been locked up in a top-secret military base, advising world leaders about his kind. But when he worries he’s outlived his usefulness and the dissection table is drawing uncomfortably close, Paul escapes on the first RV that passes by his compound in Area 51. Fortunately, it contains the two earthlings who are most likely to rescue and harbor an alien on the run.
Escape becomes a matter of life and death when a foul-mouthed alien decides he'd rather hitchhike across America than face a laboratory dissection. This irreverent road trip pairs classic British comedy with a stoner sensibility that keeps the momentum moving.
