Howard the Duck

Howard the Duck (1986) is a quirky sci-fi comedy where a cosmic mishap drags the sardonic avian hero from his home planet to Cleveland. Chasing a mysterious beam, Howard encounters a band of children who shield him from nefarious scientists, only to face a far more menacing alien threat. Director Joe Johnston crafts a zany world where duck-sized humans and human-sized ducks coexist, blending slapstick humor with a surreal undertow that questions the nature of heroism and belonging.
