An alien captain, inhabiting a human-like spaceship called Dave, is sent to Earth to retrieve a lost orb that could save his dying planet. Unbeknownst to the inhabitants of his world, Dave is controlled by a crew of tiny aliens who are running the mission. When the orb lands in New York City, Dave must navigate human society and retrieve it before it falls into the wrong hands, all while trying to maintain the illusion of being a normal human.

Meet Dave was met with largely negative reviews from critics, who found its premise unoriginal and its humor to be childish and predictable. While Eddie Murphy's dual performance was noted, it wasn't enough to salvage the film's weak script and lack of cohesive storytelling. Audiences also seemed unimpressed, leading to a disappointing box office performance.
