From the Sony press release:
SYNOPSIS

Director John Carpenter presents a romantic science fiction odyssey starring Jeff Bridges in his 1984 Oscar-nominated role as an innocent alien from a distant planet who learns what it means to be a man in love. When his spacecraft is shot down over Wisconsin, Starman (Bridges) arrives at the remote cabin of a distraught young widow, Jenny Hayden (Karen Allen), and clones the form of her dead husband. The alien convinces Jenny to drive him to Arizona, explaining that if he isn't picked up by his mothership in three days, he'll die. Hot on their trail are government agents, intent on capturing the alien, dead or alive. En route, Starman demonstrates the power of universal love, while Jenny rediscovers her human feelings for passion. Written by Bruce A. Evans & Raynold Gideon.

I remember seeing this one when it first hit home video and being disappointed how non-scary it was for a John Carpenter movie.  It may be worth rewatching it from and older perspective.

This is actually one of my favorite movies, and I just used D2D to add it to my new KScape setup. I was a bit disappointed to see it wasn't available in 4K, but perhaps this will change that in the near future.
