Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Reception 5 Soundtrack 5.1 Track listing 6 References 7 External links Plot Upon discovering a UFO in American airspace, the National Guard sends fighter jets to investigate, and they fire on the craft when it does n't respond. Activating a cloaking device too late, the spaceship crashes into the Atlantic Ocean, near Manhattan. The aliens aboard, Beldar Clorhone and his life - mate Prymaat, survive and quickly adapt to our human way of life, despite standing out with their conical shaped heads. Beldar was assigned by the Highmaster to conquer Earth as a Protoid Re-fueling Station under the title of ' Fuel Survey Underlord of the Wilderness Planet at the end of the Noctolium Solar Chain '. Beldar gets work as an appliance repairman, and when his grateful boss Otto discovers that Beldar has no documentation, he arranges for a false identity, which sends up a red flag that quickly alerts the INS. Meanwhile, after communicating with their world ( Remulak ) and discovering that a rescue vessel will not arrive for seven `` Zurls '' ( many years ), Prymaat informs Beldar that she is pregnant. They now need to completely adapt and safely blend in, in order to raise their child among humans. Ambitious INS agent Gorman Seedling and his assistant Eli attempt to capture Beldar and Prymaat, but they are able to elude the two agents. Months later, Beldar has become a respected taxi driver, and the couple live in his boss 's basement. After the birth of their daughter Connie, they buy a home and move to suburban Paramus, New Jersey, adopting the surname Conehead. Beldar begins a new career, this time as a driving instructor. Meanwhile, Gorman gets a promotion and decides to leave the Coneheads ' case to the agent replacing him. His promotion, however, is soon held - up by the case 's extreme expense, forcing Gorman to continue until it 's closed. Now a teenager, all Connie Conehead wants to do is fit in with her peers, much to the objections of her father, especially when she begins seeing Ronnie, an auto mechanic. This caused tension between Connie and Beldar, who strongly disapproves of Ronnie, with Beldar going so far as tearing the roof off Ronnie 's car and threatening him after Ronnie tries to make love with Connie ( an act that angers Connie greatly ). Beldar is also preoccupied with winning a golfing trophy at his country club, while Prymaat becomes concerned about her attractiveness to Beldar due to one of Beldar 's driving students making a pass at him. Gorman and Eli track the Coneheads down to their home and pose as Jehovah 's Witnesses to gain entry to the Conehead home. During the conversation, Prymaat discovers their communication device to Remulak is beeping, and she promptly tells Beldar that he has a phone call from ' the Big Phone '. This cause Beldar to promptly eject Gorman and Eli from their home. Beldar then receives word that their rescue vessel is on its way. At a costume party that night, Connie is told that they will be rescued soon. She disobeys her parents or `` parental units '' by returning home with Ronnie. Once there Connie consummates their relationship using her parents ' `` senso - rings ''. Beldar and Prymaat walk in on them, just as the INS shows up to take the Coneheads into custody. Their rescue vessel arrives just in time, and Gorman and Eli are taken aboard with Beldar, Prymaat, and Connie. On Remulak, Beldar is welcomed home, presenting Highmaster Mintot with a variety of ' gifts ' from earth, including Gorman and Eli as slaves. Mintot is at first satisfied with what Beldar has accomplished during his time on Earth, until he notices that Beldar got his teeth capped ( something Beldar had done from advice from Otto as a part of blending in ). He accuses Beldar of treason and sentences him to fight the ferocious Garthok ( `` narful the Garthok '' ), much to Prymaat 's distress. After the Garthok easily and gruesomely kills others who were sentenced to fight it, Beldar uses his Earthly golfing skills to save himself, killing the creature. For his victory, he is then granted a request : Beldar wishes to return to Earth to oversee its conquest, taking Gorman back with him as a minion. Mintot agrees, and Eli is left behind, becoming the Highmaster 's personal lackey, acclimating to his new role rather quickly. Beldar leaves for Earth with Prymaat, Connie, and Gorman in tow. He soon demonstrates that Connie 's feelings are more important to him than planetary conquest by quickly faking an Earth attack. Beldar orders his invasion force to retreat and proceed to their secondary target in another part of the galaxy, while making it look like his spaceship has been destroyed by a superior weapon. For sparing his life, Gorman agrees to give the Coneheads Green Cards in exchange for Beldar proving he has a marketable talent no other American citizen possesses, to which Beldar confidently agrees. Some time 2 years later, Ronnie arrives to take Connie to the prom. Beldar gives Ronnie 55 words of advice, and then uses a massive flash bulb arrangement on his home - built Polaroid camera to document the happy event. As Connie and a now - sunburned Ronnie depart, Beldar and Prymaat look at the oversized photo, saying, `` Memories, we will enjoy them ''. Cast Dan Aykroyd as Beldar Conehead / Donald R.

( May 2015 ) While there are some differences, Coneheads mostly follows the same plot as in the animated special that was created ten years earlier. Similarities include the Coneheads being stranded on Earth, Beldar working as an appliance repair man, and Connie dating an earthling named Ronnie. The film mostly takes place in Paramus, New Jersey. Some scenes were filmed in New York City and the New Jersey towns of Jersey City and Wrightstown. Reception The film debuted at No. 6 on its opening weekend, while its domestic box office grossed $7,100,501. By the end of its domestic theatrical run, the film had grossed $21,274,717. Coneheads received mostly negative reviews from critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a low score of 33 %, based on 30 reviews. Roger Ebert gave the film 11⁄2 stars out of 4, describing Coneheads as `` dismal, dreary and fairly desperate '' and the actors as unable to overcome an uninspired screenplay. Janet Maslin of The New York Times said the film `` has its dopey charms '', and that it is suitable for people who found Wayne 's World too demanding. The Los Angeles Times called it `` an unusually companionable jape ; in this world it makes perfect sense that the Coneheads ' friends and neighbors never really register that there 's anything terribly different about them. They 're all - American eccentrics -- even if they happen to come from the planet Remulak ''.
