Best friends Graeme Willy and Clive Gollings are British comic book and sci-fi enthusiasts who travel to the United States to attend the annual San Diego Comic-Con. They embark on a road trip through the Southwestern U. After a brush with homophobic rednecks at a diner, they watch a car driving erratically and crashing.
Stopping to offer assistance to the driver, he is revealed to be Paul, an alien. Graeme agrees to give him a ride, despite Clive fainting and wetting his pants upon seeing him. Later, Special Agent Zoil of the Secret Service arrives at the car-crash site, informing his unseen female superior, “the Big Guy”, that he is closing in on Paul. She sends rookies Haggard and O’Reilly to assist. Clive remains paranoid over Paul’s intentions, considering his appearance as evidence of a conspiracy. They later camp at an RV park run by Christian fundamentalists, one-eyed Ruth Buggs and her father Moses.

Stopping at a bar, Ruth calls her father, but Zoil intercepts the call. She is accosted by the rednecks and a bar fight ensues. They escape when Paul terrifies them into fainting. Later, at another RV park, Ruth is questioned by Agent Zoil, but plays dumb and escapes. Meanwhile, Haggard and O’Reilly have figured out about Paul.
Confronting Zoil, he orders them to return to base, but they go behind his back and try to catch the alien on their own. As no-one believed her story, she has spent her life as a pariah. Although angry at first, she forgives Paul and prepares to make tea for her visitors. Haggard, O’Reilly and Zoil arrive and surround the house. The group flee but O’Reilly shoots at them, igniting gas from Tara’s stove and destroying her house with him inside. Paul, Graeme, Clive, Ruth and Tara arrive at Devils Tower National Monument, where they set off fireworks to signal Paul’s mothership.
A helicopter suddenly arrives with agents and the Big Guy. Zoil appears and initiates a stand-off, unexpectedly shooting the agents, before being wounded. He is revealed to be Paul’s friend, attempting to aid his escape under the guise of capturing him. During the fight, Tara knocks out the Big Guy. Graeme and Ruth admit their feelings for each other and kiss, but the Big Guy regains consciousness and holds the group at gunpoint. Just as she is about to kill them, she is crushed by the landing transport ship.
