The Man Who Fell to Earth, directed by Nicolas Roeg, starred David Bowie as Thomas Jerome Newton, a humanoid alien who visits our planet in search of water to save his homeland. Released in 1976, the science fiction film was the launchpad for Bowie’s Thin White Duke persona and is often considered his best film role. The Man Who Fell to Earth, which has been given a 4K restoration to celebrate its 40th anniversary, is rereleased in the UK on 9 September and available to buy from 24 October
