Original The Man Who Fell to Earth Movie Posters

Welcome to the official Film/Art Gallery collection of the vintage original The Man Who Fell to Earth posters, where we provide a substantial choice of artwork for the David Bowie movie.

The Man Who Fell to Earth is 1976 British fantasy film directed by Nicolas Roeg and written by Paul Mayersberg, and adapted from Walter Tevis's 1963 novel. The film stars Candy Clark, David Bowie, Buck Henry, and Rip Torn. It was produced by Michael Deeley and Barry Spikings.

The vintage The Man Who Fell to Earth movie poster for the film's British theatrical release was designed by artist, Vic Fair.

In the film, a space alien named Thomas crash lands on Earth, seeking help for his drought-stricken planet. Aided by lawyer Oliver Farnsworth, Thomas uses his knowledge of advanced technology to make profitable inventions. While developing a way to move water, Thomas meets Mary-Lou, a quiet desk clerk, and begins to fall for her. As he is about to leave Earth, Thomas is intercepted by the U.S. government, and his entire plan is threatened.

The Man Who Fell to Earth retains a cult following for its use of surreal imagery and being Bowie's first starring film role. The musician was perfectly cast which further cemented director Roeg's status as one of the foremost unique filmmakers of the 1970s, with this movie considered a crucial work of fantasy cinema and one among the simplest films of Roeg's career. Originally cut by 20 minutes in its 1976 US release, this anniversary presentation is contains the omitted scenes.
