Sara, one of the scientists working at the institute, becomes aware of the company's plans to hand the alien over to the military. Art, Kitty, Ben, and his grandson David ( Barret Oliver) then rescue the Antarean from the Oceanographic Institute. The next night, before Ben, Mary, Art and Bess leave to meet the Antareans, Alma tells them she is staying on Earth to work at the preschool. And although a lovelorn Jack once again attempts to woo Kitty, she instead grants him a vision of his future, showing him children and a wife with a small heart-shaped birthmark on her neck. Ben and Mary reconnect with their family and friends, including Bernie who is shown to have found love with Ruby, alleviating his suicidal depression over Rose's death. Art and Bess learn that Bess is pregnant, and decide to raise the child on Antarea so they will live long enough to see him grow up. Before dying, he tells Alma to accept a job offer at a preschool and that he loves her. When Alma is hit by a car while saving a child, Joe gives up the last of his lifeforce, saving her life but sacrificing his. Joe learns that his leukemia has returned, but he knows it will be cured again as soon as he and Alma leave Earth. The aliens and their human allies must find a way to retrieve the cocoon in time for their rendezvous with the rescue ship, while the humans travelling with them must decide whether to return to Antarea or stay on Earth and become mortal again. Before they can be retrieved, one of the cocoons is discovered by a science research team and taken to a secure laboratory for testing.
Unlike its predecessor, the film was neither a commercial nor a critical success.įive years after they left Earth following a failed rescue mission, the Antareans return to rescue the cocoons that were left behind. All of the starring actors from the first film reprised their roles in this film, although Brian Dennehy only appears in one scene at the end of the film. The film serves as the sequel to the 1985 film Cocoon.
Cocoon: The Return is a 1988 American science fiction comedy-drama film directed by Daniel Petrie and written by Stephen McPherson.
