Wikus Van De Merwe and Christopher Johnson grew up in two different worlds. One led an upper middle class work-a-day life. He married the boss's daughter, had a nice house in the suburbs, and seemed to a relatively well liked guy. The other grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. He lived in an African shanty and struggled to get by day to day. He was discriminated against and is basically a imprisoned in his ghetto. He was a single parent and he spent his days scamming a way out of his lot in life.
Through a chance encounter and a few bad breaks, the two become unlikely partners trying to clear their names, get back home, and just survive another day. They are ruthlessly hunted by the evil corporate giants, a classic bad guy. Hilarity ensues.
OK, one is an alien. And there are spaceships, tribal overlords, cool alien weapons, and against-all-odds heroism. It features themes of alienation, the soulless nature of the corporate greed, and true love. What's not to love?

Clever way to describe this movie. It is not the kind of thing for people who aren't into Sci-Fi, though.
