Jules is a heartwarming sci-fi drama directed by Marc Turtletaub. The film stars Ben Kingsley as Milton, an elderly man living a quiet and unremarkable life in a small town. His routine is unexpectedly disrupted when a UFO crash-lands in his backyard, and he discovers an alien being, whom he names Jules.

As Milton forms a bond with the alien, he shares his discovery with two neighbors, played by Jane Curtin and Harriet Sansom Harris. Together, they embark on a touching and humorous journey, trying to care for Jules while keeping the alien’s presence a secret from the authorities.

Jules blends elements of science fiction with themes of friendship, aging, and human connection. The film offers a touching narrative about loneliness, the need for companionship, and the beauty of unlikely friendships. With gentle humor and emotional depth, Jules provides a fresh take on the alien-encounter genre, focusing on the relationships between the characters rather than typical sci-fi spectacle.
