Thomas Jerome Newton is a humanoid alien who comes to Earth to get water for his dying planet. He starts a high technology company to get the billions of dollars he needs to build a return spacecraft, and meets Mary-Lou, a girl who falls in love with him. He does not count on the greed and ruthlessness of business here on Earth, however.

Movie Quote(s):
- [last lines] Waiter: I think perhaps Mr. Newton has had enough, don't you? Nathan Bryce: I think... perhaps... you're right.
-
Thomas Jerome Newton: We'd have probably done the same to you, if you'd come 'round our place.
-
Mary-Lou: What are they like, your children? Thomas Jerome Newton: They're like children. Exactly like children...
-
Mary-Lou: You know Tommy, you're a freak. I don't mean that unkindly. I like freaks. And that's why I like you.
-
Mary-Lou: I don't love you anymore. Thomas Jerome Newton: And I don't love you.
