Howard the Duck, executive produced by George Lucas, is an offbeat, visual effects-filled comedy based on the cult favorite Marvel Comics series of the same name. It was written by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, the same husband-and-wife team who scripted American Graffiti (1973), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), and Radioland Murders (1994) for Lucasfilm.
More adventure than humanly possible
THE STORY
After an inter-dimensional portal is opened to Duck World, the cigar-chomping Howard is transported to Cleveland. The anthropomorphic waterfowl befriends local musician Beverly, faces the evil Dark Overlord, and eventually must choose whether to stay on Earth or return home.
