A colorful, good-natured family adventure that plays fish-out-of-water comedy through an alien's perspective on 1950s Earth culture, built on friendship and cross-species understanding.

When Earth astronaut Capt. Chuck Baker arrives on Planet 51 -- a world reminiscent of American suburbia circa 1950 -- he tries to avoid capture, recover his spaceship and make it home safely, all with the help of an empathetic little green being.
