Ned (Bryan Cranston) is a slightly overprotective but loving dad who does not approve of his daughter Stephanie’ boyfriend, a Silicon Valley billionaire named Laird (James Franco). So when Ned, his wife Barb and his son Scotty visit Stephanie and Laird in the man’s house in Southern California, the trip starts off rather awkward and then quickly goes downhill even further. Especially, when Ned finds out that Laird wants to pop the question… and wants his blessing.

The arrival in the title refers to twelve rather large space ships that suddenly appear at seemingly random locations across our planet. People are panicking because… you know, aliens. But for once these aliens aren’t blowing up the White House, seeming content to just hover around. So who are they? And what are they doing here? And can they please use an anal probe on Trump?
