Een wetenschappelijk experiment brengt buitenaards leven naar de Aarde. De eerste hiervan is de sigaarrokende eend Howard. Een paar kinderen proberen hem weg te houden van de hebberige wetenschappers, en hem terug naar zijn planeet te helpen. Maar dan arriveert er een veel minder vriendelijk wezen...
Nee, helaas is Howard the Duck nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
