The cult sci-fi flick by director Nicolas Roeg scores a brilliant illustrated adaptation this fall.
The plotline centers around the mercy mission of a man named Thomas Jerome Newton who drops in on Earth to find water to save his homeworld from suffering and extinction. By employing his shocking knowledge of advanced technology, Newton and his company develop and market a multitude of hi-tech inventions and scientific products that soon make him one of the richest persons on the planet.
With his billions in profit, Newton attempts to discover a method by which to safely transport water back to his thirsty planet. However, while his money and celebrity grow exponentially, Newton immediately becomes the focus of a determined U.S. Government investigation that threatens to undermine his entire noble quest.
"There are ideas in the film, about climate crises and corporate greed, that are more relevant now than they were when Nicolas Roeg set out to make it. And now here we are. I think it’s high time to look at the world through Thomas Newton’s mismatched eyes all over again. Perhaps he’ll see something we’ve been missing.”
