(1984) The Brother From Another Planet
SCIENCE-FICTION DRAMA
Written and directed by John Sayles, in which the term "brother" as the movie is called, is in reference to the character played by Joe Morton, since it is what many of the people call him as a result of him crashing into earth and roaming around NYC Harlem. He is in fact an alien from outer space with zero explanation why he landed there in the first place, or why he happened to look like an African American. Except that there are strange people who are after him for unexplained reasons unknown.
I would have loved to have seen what independent director John Sayles would have done with this had he had a bigger budget.
