Nukie is a 1987 South African science fiction film directed by Sias Odendaal and Michael Pakleppa, and based on an original story by Odendaal, who also wrote the screenplay with Ben Taylor. The film stars Anthony Morrison, 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 US government.
