A tiny alien lands in the small town Aurora in Texas in the times of the Wild West. He flies around in his spaceship and checks out everything. While the kids are fascinated, their parents are rather sceptic and afraid. Ms. Peabels, teacher and new owner of the local paper, smells a good story and brings the alien into the headlines. When the governor hears of the rumors he sends a ranger to take action. (imdb)

Cheap _E.T._-inspired sci-fi aimed at kids. Rather crassly, the tiny bald alien is played by a child with the very real genetic disorder Hutchinson Gilford Syndrome (which causes children to age prematurely), giving this Texas-shot flick a rather distasteful air despite an overall atmosphere of earnestness.

Watched this solely to see where some of the samples from DJ Shadow's 'Entroducing' album come from. Starts off almost as an exploitation film but quickly devolves into dull and predictable kiddie fare. Oh well, at least I solved a 15 year long mystery!
