English Summary:

Alien Nation is a 1988 American buddy cop neo-noir science fiction action film directed by Graham Baker. The ensemble cast features James Caan, Mandy Patinkin and Terence Stamp. Its initial popularity inaugurated the beginning of the Alien Nation media franchise. The film depicts the assimilation of the "Newcomers", an alien race settling in Los Angeles, much to the initial dismay of the local population. The plot integrates the neo-noir and buddy cop film genres with a science fiction theme, centering on the relationship between a veteran police investigator (Caan) and an extraterrestrial (Patinkin); the first Newcomer detective. The duo probe a criminal underworld while attempting to solve a homicide. 

The year is 1991; three years since an unidentified flying object bearing 300,000 enslaved aliens, the Newcomers, landed in the Mojave Desert on planet Earth. Los Angeles later becomes their new home.

Matthew Sykes (Caan), a police detective, loses his partner Bill Tuggle (Brown) in a shootout; the detectives had been trying to stop two Newcomer criminals murdering another Newcomer named Porter at a grocery, in what appeared to be a robbery. The next day, Sykes' superior Captain Warner (McCarthy), informs his squad that they will have to work with the newly promoted Newcomer detective Sam Francisco (Patinkin). Although biased, Sykes enlists to work with Francisco to investigate a similar homicide with a Newcomer named Warren Hubely, feeling that if he investigates that crime, he will also find opportunities to investigate his partner's death (which he is officially forbidden to do).

While at a crime lab, trying unobtrusively to establish a connection between the two cases, Francisco detects an abnormality on the body of one of the Newcomer criminals who was killed in the robbery. Later, Sykes and Francisco are led to a nightclub to investigate a link in the killings with a Newcomer named Joshua Strader (Kober). However, they end up interviewing his girlfriend instead, after Strader is murdered by a criminal ring led by Newcomer businessman William Harcourt (Stamp) and his henchman Rudyard Kipling (Howard).

Hungarian Summary:

Egy földönkívüli űrhajó pályájáról letérve a Földre érkezik, és a fedélzetén utazó százezer idegen a bolygónkon próbál letelepedni. Az emberszabású lények, akiket génmanipuláció segítségével azzal a céllal alkottak, hogy jó rabszolgák váljanak belőlük, jóval erősebbek, okosabbak és alkalmazkodóbbak. Ám mivel a földön nincs rabszolgaság, az idegenek elvegyülnek Dél-Kalifornia lakosai között, és ki rendőrként, ki rablóként, ki bolti eladóként keresi kenyerét. Minden emberi előítélet ellenére jól beilleszkednek, ám egy kérdés nyitva marad: őriznek-e valamilyen titkot? Sykes nyomozó is az átlagos előítéleteket táplálja a földönkívüliekkel szemben, amikor egy nap új társat kap: egy Sam Francisco nevű idegent.
