            George Gardner (Timothy Bottoms) encourages his 12-year-old son David's (Hunter Carson) dreams of becoming an astronaut by stargazing with him. A thunderstorm wakes David, and he observes a strange alien spaceship landing on Copper Hill, just beyond the house. His father agrees to investigate, but returns a changed man.In the morning, David Gardner notices his father wearing only one slipper. His normally sunny disposition is somber and his personality is flat. David also notices a wound on the back of his father's neck in the shape of a letter 'X'. In the kitchen, George Gardner dumps sugar cubes into his coffee, and the coffee dribbles down his chin as he drinks. David is frightened by his father's change in behavior. At night, when he confesses his suspicions to his mother, Helen Gardner (Laraine Newman), she assures him that George is fine. Later, however, Helen calls police after she realizes George is missing.When the police chief (Jimmy Hunt) and Officer Kenney (Kenneth Kimmins) agree to investigate Copper Hill, George suddenly appears. The officers return to the house with altered personalities, but only David notices the difference. He wakes up in the middle of the night, and observes as his parents disappear over the ridge. In the morning, Helen is transformed. She offers David a plate piled with burnt bacon, and wants to take him to see the special place on Copper Hill. When David sees his mother eat a chunk of raw hamburger smothered in salt, he declines to go.At school, David overhears his schoolteacher, Mrs. McKeltch (Louise Fletcher), tell the police chief about a plan that involves George Gardner. David sneaks into Mrs. McKeltch's office and catches her eating a live frog. Mrs. McKeltch chases David, claiming he knocked over a female student. Nurse Linda Magnusson (Karen Black) rescues David and questions him in her office. She has no neck wound, so David gives his account of the unidentified flying object (UFO) at Copper Hill that robs people of their personalities. When Linda confronts Mrs. McKeltch, the teacher refuses to let the nurse examine the "boil" on her neck. Linda also notices a bandage on the neck of a student named Heather (Virginia Keehne).Linda fears for David's safety and suggests he hide at her house. However, David evades Mrs. McKeltch and Heather as they search for him in the parking lot, and becomes trapped when he hides in the teacher's van. She drives to a cave, and David follows her inside. After walking through a series of tunnels, Mrs. McKeltch encounters a round alien creature, a face and brain uttering sounds. As it speaks, light flashes from the device planted in Mrs. McKeltch's neck. The aliens realize David is in their midst, and Mrs. McKeltch vows to "get him" before he escapes.Soon, Linda Magnusson finds David on the run, and he shows her the alien cave. When he gets to the location, however, the cave has disappeared. He insists they go to Copper Hill, but the spaceship is also gone. In the distance, they hear George Gardner send two men with metal detectors into the sandpit at Copper Hill. David and Linda watch as a circular opening in the earth swallows the men. Linda and David drive away and narrowly miss hitting a school bus driven by Mrs. McKeltch.When Linda stops at a gas station to call state police, Mrs. McKeltch kidnaps David and drags him toward the school bus, but he breaks free. Linda hears the disturbance, and David gets into her car. They arrive at her office to find the telephone inoperable. The chief and Officer Kenney search the building while David leads Linda to the basement furnace room. They knock over some equipment, alerting their pursuers. However, an alien spaceship emerges through the floor, causing the officers to lose their footing, and enabling David and Linda to escape.David wants to find his parents before leaving town, but Linda insists they get help. David and Linda meet with General Wilson (James Karen), commander of the military base that employs David's father. The general attempts to verify their story by questioning the men with metal detectors, but the interrogation is halted when an invisible force kills the prisoners. The neck devices emit sparks of light as they appear to unscrew from the necks of the corpses. The general orders the base perimeter sealed, and summons officials from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).NASA and Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) scientists meet with the general and insist that their launch to Mars go as scheduled. For security purposes, the general calls for a temporary delay until they can determine the risks. Meanwhile, George Gardner plants a bomb inside a truck bound for the launch pad. A monitor in the general's office indicates that the bomb has successfully destroyed the Mars rocket.It is here that General Wilson finally believes David's claim about aliens and speculates that the aliens are from the nearby planet Mars and when they observed the SETI rocket under construction and bound for Mars, the aliens misinterpreted it as an attack on their planet and so they decided to strike first by landing on Earth to destroy the rocket before it could be launched. General Wilson asks David to show him the sandpit at Copper Hill, and orders his soldiers to surround the area, but Sargent Rinaldi (Eric Pierpoint), the general's aide, loses his footing and the sandpit swallows him.Two aliens stand near the cave, eyeing advancing soldiers and Dr. Mark Weinstein (Bud Court), a member of SETI. Weinstein wants to converse with the aliens before the military launches an attack. He returns an alien mechanical part, believing the aliens understand him. Nevertheless, the scientist is vaporized by the alien's ray gun, and the soldiers kill the aliens.David runs into the sandpit hoping to locate his parents, and Linda follows. Both are swallowed up, and the general sends soldiers after them. They lay down explosives and rappel into the hole left by the explosion.Inside a lab at the alien spaceship, David observes as a device is implanted in Sgt. Rinaldi's neck to control humans. Mrs. McKeltch orders other aliens to capture David and Linda. David pleads with the Martian Supreme Being to release his parents, arguing that mind control is wrong, and predicting the aliens' failure in conquering Earth. The head Martian comments that David is "a poor little guy," and the boy punches him in the nose. As he runs away, David knocks over Mrs. McKeltch, who falls into the gaping mouth of an alien and is eaten alive.In the tunnel, realizing Sgt. Rinaldi is under the control of the Martians, the general orders his men to shoot him dead.David leads the soldiers back to the spaceship to destroy the Martian Supreme Being and save Linda from receiving an implant. Many soldiers are vaporized, but American firepower causes the Martian Supreme Being to retreat into a protective eye-shaped shell. As Linda is saved, soldiers plant explosives, and the general orders a five-minute delay to escape before detonation.Upon discovering that the escape route is blocked, David sacrifices a mint copper penny his father gave him to activate an alien weapon that is left behind since the metal copper is the source of the alien's technology. Meanwhile, the wounded Martian Supreme Being orders the aliens to prepare the ship for takeoff.The soldiers escape through the new opening, but David hears his parents calling. He refuses their entreaties to join them on the spaceship, and while he struggles against them near the ridge, the spaceship explodes in the sky. The implants in his parent's necks are apparently deactivated, but the aerial fireball begins to overtake and consume both David and his parents....Suddenly, David awakens in his bedroom. His parents comfort him, and he is relieved to find nothing implanted in his father's neck. The entire Martian invasion and battle was apparently nothing more than David's nightmare. His mother tucks him into bed and reminds him that dreams are not real and tells him goodnight. But sometime later, a thunderstorm snaps him awake. When he opens his window, David sees the exact same Martian UFO spaceship landing on Copper Hill. He runs to his parents' room in a panic. David's nightmare is starting again.... or is it?

Tom and Jerry: Snowman's Land


            Following the events of the first film, Ben Healy (John Ritter) and his son Junior (Michael Oliver) decide to leave Cold River for a better life in a new town called Mortville, which is, unfortunately, known as the "divorce capital of the world" as Ben is greeted by a seemingly endless number of single women when they arrive at their new house, as well as hotshot single dad Aron Burger (Alan Blumenfeld), who invites Ben and Junior for a welcoming barbecue. After being insulted by Burger and his equally bratty twin daughters, Dolly and Madison, Junior seeks revenge by turning up the barbecue's gas pumps, causing Burger to get blown up in the air and landing in a kiddie pool in the next yard. The next day, Junior begins his new school year at Mortville Elementary, where he runs into his old nemesis, Mr. Peabody (Gilbert Gottfried), who originally quit his old job and became a school principal because either way, he hates kids. When Junior breaks wind in front of Peabody, he thinks that Junior is a smart kid and passes him to the sixth grade. Of course, his new teacher Mr. Thorn (James Tolkan) is not happy that he is saddled with many of his old students again as hardly any of them passed, including hulking but incredibly stupid Murph (Eric Edwards), who has been in 6th grade for the past 20 years. When Junior steals a answer from a math question intended for Murph, Thorn is somewhat impressed and leaves the room to find something that will make Murph pay more attention. Of course, a chase breaks out all over the classroom between Junior and an angry Murph, ending with Junior taping him up on the blackboard, causing all the teachers and students to run out of the school. Meanwhile, Ben visits the local bank to get a loan approved. The bank's owner and local rich woman LaWanda DuMore (Laraine Newman) observes this from her upstairs office window and orders her assistant Smith (Paul Willson) to find out everything about him so she can date him. When Ben picks up Junior from school, Murph somehow gets up on the roof and pushes a satellite dish off, crashing on top of Ben and knocking him out. When Ben regains consciousness, he finds himself in the nurse's office greeted and tended to by pretty Annie Young (Amy Yasbeck). Of course, her daughter Trixie (Ivyann Schwan) who knows Junior's face as he shot her balloon with a slingshot the day they moved in, notices him trying to deface a photo of Annie with a black marker and clobbers him.The next night, Junior is not happy when Ben is going out on a date with Debbie (Charlene Tilton), one of the neighborhood's many single women. Ben leaves Junior with a two-faced babysitter named Rhoda. Junior calls Debbie's ex-husband, Voytek (Zach Grenier), who is insanely jealous. Afterward, Voytek shows up at the restaurant and smacks Ben on the head with a lead pipe, but when Ben tries to defend himself from Voytek, Debbie, who apparently still has feelings for him, punches Ben out. Back home, Rhoda's boyfriend shows up on his motorcycle, and they go up to Ben's bedroom to have sex. Junior sees Ben's video camera and records it. After returning home, a humiliated Ben sees several cars parked in and around his driveway and sees everybody sitting in the front yard watching the babysitter and her boyfriend having sex projected with a video camera on the front of the house. Shortly after, Big Ben (Jack Warden) arrives, claiming to be on vacation, but then admits he is on the run from his creditors as he lost his business and all his money. Ben and Junior reluctantly allow him and his dog, Nippy, to stay at the house and in Junior's room.The next day, after Junior is sprayed with the fire hose by Trixie, Ben arrives at the nurse's office and it is quite clear to Junior that he has feelings for Annie. Later, Junior tries to impress Ben with his cooking skills but Ben has another date with another single woman named Emily (Martha Quinn). While Ben gets ready, Junior rigs the doorbell with the electrical wires and soaks the outside doormat with a garden hose, and when Emily rings the doorbell, she gets electrocuted. Ben is shocked (literally) at Emily's appearance, and after he closes the door, Emily collapses on the ground. A distraught Ben thinks that Junior is not getting enough attention, and decides to spend more time with him, thinking his behavior will improve. One day, He takes Junior to a water park, a ball game, and finally a carnival, where is unable to ride a popular ride because of his height and after getting snubbed my Murph and Trixie, who uses stilts on her shoes to get on the ride, gets revenge by expanding the ride's speed, causing everybody in and out of the ride to vomit all over the place. Though frustrated with Junior, Ben decides to make a deal with Junior that he will be there for him, providing he will be good from now on.When they get home, they discover their entire house has been redecorated by LaWanda, who secretly threatens violence to Junior if he tries to come between her and Ben. After discovering his new bedroom has been become a haven for clowns and similar themed toys, Junior sabotages a dinner cooked by LaWanda by putting roaches inside the salad. An angry and betrayed Ben is convinced he has failed as a father and declares Junior cannot be trusted again and an equally angry LaWanda tells Junior that she plans to marry Ben and send him to a boarding school overseas. During the school's open house, Ben gets a dose of what Annie's daughter is really like when she hijacks a puppet show after tying the real puppeteers up. Annie cannot believe it and drags Trixie out of the school, with Ben running after them, explaining to Annie that he can help them both, but she confesses that Trixie consumes her life and does not have room for anything else in life and they disappear into the night. Since Ben still has feelings for LaWanda, he accepts her subsequent marriage proposal, much to the anger and dismay of Junior. He gets revenge by switching her blood test with a rabid dog and she is sent to the hospital, where Junior switches plastic surgery paperwork for another patient to LaWanda.That night, Ben and Junior run into Annie and Trixie having dinner at a local pizza place. Unfortunately, Peabody is there with his girlfriend, and after he berates all of them, they get into a food fight, causing the four to be kicked out and permanently banned from the restaurant, but thanks to the retaliation, Junior and Trixie now become friends and must band together to stop LaWanda from marrying Ben. Later that night, Trixie shows up at his house and plan to take a walk to the local park monument, the Love Rock, and they bound and gag Big Ben, fearing he will tell his father. Early the next morning, Ben receives a phone call from an alarmed Annie and they drive to the park where they see Junior and Trixie sleeping on a bench and after embracing, the two couples go their separate ways. At the wedding, Junior is praying that Ben sees LaWanda's nose. However, to his chagrin, he discovers she got almost $400 worth of last-minute plastic surgery done on it. They then go ahead with the ceremony until it is interrupted by Trixie driving a bulldozer into the park containing the Love Rock. It rolls down the aisle as guests scramble to get out of the way. LaWanda firmly stands her ground and puts out a hand to stop it, but it crushes her to the ground. Annie arrives defeated for not stopping Trixie in Time and apologizes to Ben for Trixie ruining the wedding, but Ben says the wedding was meant to be ruined. Feeling that both parents have feelings for each other, the two passionately kiss. Though Big Ben tries to persuade his son to marry LaWanda, Ben suggests his father should, much to his joy. To celebrate, Junior slingshots a stick of dynamite on the wedding cake, causing it to rocket up in the air and splatter all over Big Ben and LaWanda. The movie ends with Ben, Annie, Junior, and Trixie happily walking out of the park.
