Overview
Eat and Run is a horror, comedy, and science fiction film released in the United States on February 20, 1987. The feature has a runtime of one hour and twenty-five minutes and carries an R rating. The story centers on a humanoid alien that lands on Earth and discovers a taste for Italian people, continuing to sample this specific cuisine around New York City. An incompetent detective named McSorely is the only person with any clue about what is actually happening, though his grasp of the situation is not very firm. Meanwhile, the rest of the police force believes that McSorely is crazy. The film tells the story of a four-hundred-pound alien who eats Italian people rather than Italian food.
