A desperate alien assumes a human form to rescue his dying world, but his mission is threatened by a mysterious woman and the unwelcome advances of those around him.

An extraterrestrial named Thomas Jerome Newton arrives on Earth to collect water for his parched planet. He establishes a cutting-edge company to raise the billions of dollars needed to construct a spacecraft for his return journey, and befriends Mary-Lou, who develops strong feelings for him.
