Howard the Duck
ActionAdventureComedyFantasyRomanceSci-Fi110 min
When a scientific experiment pulls an extraterrestrial duck to Earth, Howard lands in Cleveland with no way home and a growing number of people who want to study, use, or chase him down. Lea Thompson’s Beverly, a local musician, becomes his closest ally, while Dr. Jennings (Jeffrey Jones) is part of the research that opened the beam in the first place. What starts as a fish-out-of-water arrival turns into a scramble to contain the portal before something much less friendly comes through. Howard the Duck leans into oddball comedy, sci-fi chaos, and a romance that’s as strange as its central premise.
