Coneheads

Synopsis

After crash-landing on Earth, a family of cone-headed aliens disguises themselves as normal humans to blend in. Beldar and Prymaat, along with their teenage daughter Connie, try to adapt to the alien world while evading the suspicious Immigration and Naturalization Service. As they attempt to repair their spaceship, they navigate through human customs and societal norms, leading to comical situations and misunderstandings. Coneheads is a comedic take on the fish-out-of-water concept, exploring themes of family, acceptance, and belonging, all wrapped in eccentric humor and quirky charm.
