What happens in Coneheads from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Upon detecting a UFO invading American airspace, the National Guard dispatches fighter jets to investigate. The craft remains unresponsive as it plummets into the Atlantic near Manhattan, and from the wreckage emerge two survivors from the planet Remulak: Beldar and his wife Prymaat. Their mission and origin are clear enough to the authorities—that they come from a distant world—but their appearance and voices are so unfamiliar that they instantly stand out in a country built on a different kind of normal. The Highmaster Mintot assigns Beldar the task of conquering Earth, yet the first practical step for both of them is survival in a world that does not bend easily to alien customs.
