The Brother from Another Planet

A mute space alien crash-lands on Ellis Island due to a malfunction in his ship. His extraterrestrial appearance, highlighted by his three-toed feet, leads many people to mistake him for a homeless individual.

As the alien navigates his new surroundings, he discovers his unique abilities. One of his first moments is when he places his hand on a wall, allowing him to hear the echoes of those who once inhabited the space, showcasing his empathetic nature.

In a local shop, the alien makes humorous attempts to fit in but ends up confusing the shopkeeper. He begins munching on a head of lettuce and a tomato, drawing attention to his vegetarian diet, only to accidentally trigger a police alert.

After the police officer begins to pursue him, the alien uses his impressive jumping ability to leap to a high ledge. This incredible feat helps him evade capture, allowing him to explore more of New York City.

While riding the subway, the alien encounters a friendly card trickster who entertains him with amusing stories about face cards. This interaction demonstrates the generosity and kindness prevalent among some of New York's residents.

The alien finds acceptance and camaraderie at Odell's bar in Harlem. With Odell's assistance, he secures a place to stay with Randy Sue Carter and her young son, starting a new chapter in his life.

Using his knack for fixing things, the alien impresses the bar patrons by repairing an arcade cabinet. His modifications not only boost the game speed but also draw the attention of locals, leading to a job offer.

As he observes the detrimental effects of drug use in Harlem, the alien reveals another extraordinary ability. He temporarily detaches one of his eyes to use it as a camera, helping him identify sources of drug distribution in the area.

The tension escalates when two mysterious men in black begin to hunt for the alien, questioning his friends. Their relentless search raises alarms in the tight-knit community surrounding the alien.

In a climactic confrontation, the men in black confront the alien's friends at Odell's bar. The local community stands united to protect the alien, showcasing their solidarity and willingness to fight against external threats.
