Paul 🎥 2011 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Best friends Graeme Willy and Clive Gollings are British comic book and sci-fi enthusiasts who travel to the United States to attend the annual San Diego Comic-Con. Clive is trying to write his own sci-fi book, and Graeme is illustrating Clive’s book. In addition to going to the convention, they embark on a road trip through the Southwestern U.S. to visit UFO sites on a remote desert highway at night. After an encounter with homophobic rednecks in a diner, they accidentally crash into the redneck’s truck. They soon drive away, later watching a car driving erratically and crashing. Stopping to offer assistance to the driver, he is then revealed to be Paul, a grey alien.

Graeme agrees to give him a ride, despite Clive fainting and wetting his pants upon seeing him. Later, Special Agent Zoil of the Secret Service arrives at the car-crash site, informing his unseen female superior, known as “the Big Guy,” that he is closing in on Paul. She sends rookies Haggard and O’Reilly to assist. Clive remains paranoid over Paul’s intentions, considering his appearance as evidence of a conspiracy. Paul explains the government fed his image to the public to keep them from panicking if anyone encounters his race. Graeme, Clive, and Paul later camp at an RV park run by Christian fundamentalists, one-eyed Ruth Buggs and her father Moses. Clive and Paul argue, Clive citing Mac and Me.

The next day, when Ruth sees Paul, she faints, so they take her with them. During an argument, Paul convinces Ruth to question her beliefs and cures her blind eye by transferring the condition onto himself and healing it immediately. Stopping at a bar, Ruth calls her father, but Zoil intercepts the call. She is accosted by the rednecks and a bar fight ensues. They escape when Paul terrifies them into fainting.
