Mac and Me

When a family of telekinetic extraterrestrials dying on a parched planet are vacuumed into a NASA rover and transplanted to Earth, they inadvertently become literal illegal aliens, on the run from the United States government! As his sister, mother, and father escape into the strangely familiar world of the surrounding desert, the youngest of the group becomes lost, eventually sneaking into the home of a wheelchair-bound middle schooler named Eric. At first unsure of what to make of the pint-sized space creature, Eric and his older brother Mike are quickly smitten and name their new alien friend, Mac (short for Mysterious Alien Creature). While Mac adjusts quickly to life on Earth, soon gaining a love for popular soft drink brands and fast food restaurants, he remains desperate to reunite with his family. But when gun-toting government agents track him down, Eric and Mike save Mac from capture and hit the road, hoping to help him find his family before it’s too late.

One of the most baffling, beloved, and jaw-droppingly weird sci-fi films of the 1980s, director and co-writer Stewart Raffill’s (Tammy & the T-Rex) MAC & ME has gained legions of fans across the universe. From its unforgettably strange aliens to its legendary fast-food-restaurant-set dance party, and its plentiful and oft discussed product placement, all set to a remarkable swelling score by two-time Academy Award® nominee Alan Silvestri (Forrest Gump), this frequently heartfelt and always hilarious cult classic explodes onto 4K UHD from Vinegar Syndrome Ultra, newly scanned and restored from its 35mm original camera negative exclusively for this release and jam packed with brand new extras.
