Nukie is a 1987 German-South African film directed by Sias Odendaal (credited as Sias Odendal) and Michael Pakleppa. The film stars Steve Railsback, Ronald France, and Glynis Johns. The plot concerns an alien, Nukie, who crash lands on earth and seeks help from two children to reunite with his brother, Miko, who has been captured by the U.S. government. Nukie is considered to be heavily inspired by Steven Spielberg's 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and since its release has often been included in lists of the worst films ever made.
