An adaptation of Stephen Zoller's theatrical stage musical, the film centres on a space alien who comes to earth to save humanity from destroying itself with the decadence of rock music, but must battle an evil concert promoter who wants to continue to profit from society's hedonism, and coopts the Messiah to perform as a rock star before attempting to destroy him.
