Product Description

Two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey and Academy Award nominee Jeff Bridges star in this spellbinding, often humorous story of a mysterious stranger who defies convention, puzzles the experts and leaves everyone searching for the truth. A stranger who calls himself Prot (Spacey) seemingly appears out of nowhere following a disturbance at New York's Grand Central Station. Claiming to come from the distant planet K-PAX, Prot draws the attention of jaded Dr. Powell (Bridges), whose initial skepticism soon turns to fascination and amazement. Even a team of leading scientists are at a loss to explain Prot's detailed knowledge of the star system he calls home. But with Prot's return to K-PAX fast approaching, the search for answers intensifies and the mystery takes on pulse-quickening proportions. Featuring unforgettable performances and surprising turns, it's a thrilling story that "Keeps you guessing right to the end!" (ABC Radio) This description may be from another edition of this product.

He calls himself Prot.

This is the essence of the book with the addition of time. The story is not unique, and the subplots are not unique. However, the execution is superb. Just the right people were picked for each character. The pacing was such that you had time to laugh, cry, and be shocked in the best proportions. Prot (Kevin Spacey) turns up out of nowhere, yet many things can be explained. Then again, many things cannot be explained. As the people that deal with him vacillate as to his nature, others accept him and are better off for the experience. This leaves you with the question: "Is he a man, alien... or savior”? I also watched “Man Facing Southeast” (1986) of which some people think it is the original movie. However, in that movie they spoke so fast I had to stop it several times to read the translated subtitles.
