The film opens
in a California forest as a group of alien botanists collect vegetation
samples. U.S. government agents appear and the aliens flee in their
spaceship, leaving one of their own behind in their haste. The scene
shifts to a suburban California home, where a boy named Elliott plays
servant to his older brother, Michael, and his friends. As he fetches
pizza, Elliott discovers the stranded alien, who promptly flees.
Despite his family's disbelief, Elliott leaves Reese's Pieces candy in
the forest to lure it into his bedroom. Before he goes to bed, Elliott
notices the alien imitating his
movements.
