Jules: A Hilarious and Heartwarming Sci-Fi Dramedy Starring Ben Kingsley | Release Date, Cast, and Plot Revealed

Jules: A Science Fiction Dramedy That Will Win Your Heart

In a summer dominated by record-breaking movies like those starring Barbie and Oppenheimer, there may be little room for anything else than another picture with an extraordinarily high budget. With its familiar plot of a crashed UFO, an eccentric apple-loving alien (fondly named Jules), and Oscar-winner Sir Ben Kingsley as the unexpected hero who adopts him, the science fiction dramedy Jules might be the thing to bring spectators comfortably and cheerfully back to earth. Kingsley can imbue serious films like Gandhi, Schindler’s List, and Shutter Island with immediate solemnity. But in Jules, a Kingsley with a full head of hair shows off his shape-shifting powers and impeccable comedic timing in a hilarious and endearing role. He portrays Milton, a widower in a small town who is ready to retire and start a new life independently.

Milton, who is now elderly and finds himself socially isolated and irrelevant, is a nuisance at town council meetings, where he offers unwelcome suggestions on improving his community. This is because he feels these things. A new version of the town motto? A new pedestrian crossing? When a spaceship crashes into Milton’s backyard, and a young alien emerges from it, asking for his assistance, Milton is just that annoying old man everyone tends to ignore. Soon, Milton will have other, more important things to do than constantly interrupt council sessions with his ideas. Before the government can get involved, he needs to save the life of the injured spaceman (apples cut into slices will do the trick), fix the spaceship (there may be cats involved), and get them back to their home planet. Thank goodness Milton does not exist in isolation. After two of his former neighbors stumble into his secret, Milton is recruited to join an unlikely team of individuals on a mission to return an extraterrestrial to its home planet. Continue reading to learn everything there is to know about Jules, a movie that has flown under the radar yet has the potential to win over your affections when it arrives in theaters later this month.
