A spaceship makes its way into Earth's proximity and finally just hovers above Johannesburg. After some time, a team is sent to investigate its contents, and finds a population of extraterrestrials inside it. Called 'prawns' due to their physical appearance, they are settled in an enclosed area in the town's outskirts. The local population's avertion to such intruders grows with time, leading the government to take measures.
A sociopolitical take on an old science fiction topos. Despite some interesting insights and a very strong central performance, it suffers from a poorly thought out screenplay. Some of the details strain credibility even for an exceedingly tolerant genre as science-fiction; furthermore, it eventually collapses into mindless action.
