Alien Nation: 48 Hours meets V.


Alien Nation: 48 Hours meets V. As close as a comparison as I can think of. Like 48 Hours, has the racial-social divide between the two protagonists with different styles and attitudes, and I pick V because of its idea of an Alien race making contact with Earthlings and whose co-existence amongst the humans creates problems. Unlike V, there is no issue of mass enslavement and guerrilla-type rebellion, and unlike 48 Hours, both protagonists are police officers.

Considering V and The Series that was inspired by this film were both created by Kenneth Johnson, that is a perfectly adequite comparison.
