Synopsis
The Coneheads was a sketch on the Saturday Night Live television show of the late '70s which were expanded to a feature starring Dan Aykroyd as Beldar and Jane Curtin as Prymaat, who leave the planet Remulak to prepare for an invasion of Planet Earth.

Due to a malfunction, they find themselves plunged into the Hudson River and forced to take up residence in Paramus, New Jersey where Beldar gets work as an appliance salesman and makes a deal for a phoney social security card. Before long, Beldar and Prymaat quickly adapt to suburban life with their daughter, Connie (Michelle Burke) - except for their coneheads and metallic-sounding voices, and the presence of a diligent INS agent (Michael McKean) and his toady assistant (David Spade) hot on The Coneheads' trail. Support cast includes Chris Farley and Dave Thomas.

Trivia:
Toward the end when Beldar asks Ronnie if he could have 55 words with him, he does say 55 words; the fireworks scene at the football stadium was filmed at Paramus High School; the French representatives of UIP took great exception to the Coneheads disguising their extra-terrestrial origins by passing themselves off as being French.
