Released on this date in 1984  we had a chat this morning about John Carpenters Starman.

Answering an invitation from NASA a space being tries to contact mankind but his ship is brought down by a US missile. The so called Starman who is now stranded on earth clones a dead mans body and kidnaps his widow who he needs to help him travel cross country to rendezvous with the mother ship to take him home safely. All the while they are relentlessly pursued by the military who are intent on killing him.
