Coneheads is a science fiction comedy film released in 1993, based on the popular sketch of the same name from the TV series, Saturday Night Live. The film was directed by Steve Barron and stars Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, and Michelle Burke in the lead roles.
The story follows the Coneheads, an alien family from the planet "Remulak", who crash land on Earth and try to blend in with the humans. The family is led by Beldar (Dan Aykroyd), who is married to Prymatt (Jane Curtin) and they have a daughter named Connie (Michelle Burke). They have monstrous cone-shaped heads, and their behavior and mannerisms are robotic, making them stand out from the humans.
The Coneheads try to adapt to life on Earth, with Beldar working in a nuclear power plant and Prymatt keeping their home. They face several challenges, such as struggling to understand human customs, maintaining their disguises, and raising their daughter in a new world. They also have to deal with immigration officials and a curious neighbor, which leads to hilarious situations.
As the plot unfolds, the family misses their homeland and tries to escape Earth, but not before blending in with some humans and changing their identities. The film features many celebrities in cameo roles, including Chris Farley, Sinbad, and Michael Richards.
Overall, Coneheads is a fun and quirky movie that satirizes American culture and customs through the unique perspective of an alien family. The film received mixed reviews upon its release but has since become a cult classic.
