Dal 1963 gli extraterrestri sono tra noi: sbarcano clandestinamente, assumono sembianze umane e i più s'integrano pacificamente. Nessuno lo sa, tranne il governo degli USA che ha costituito una sezione speciale per il controllo dell'immigrazione. Ne fanno parte il bianco K (T.L. Jones) e il nero J (W. Smith) che danno la caccia a un ET malvagio, uno scarafaggione alto tre metri infilatosi nel corpo di un contadino-camionista.
