Down to Earth

After dying before his time, an aspiring black comic gets a second shot at life - by being placed in the body of a wealthy white businessman.

Details

The movie Down to Earth follows the story of Lance Barton, a struggling comedian and bicycle messenger. Lance's main focus is pursuing his dreams on Earth rather than thinking about getting into heaven. But when a mishap occurs, Lance finds himself in an unexpected situation. Due to a mistake by an emissary from heaven named Mr. Keyes, Lance's life is cut short and he dies before his time.

However, instead of going straight to heaven, Lance is given a second chance at life. He is sent back to Earth in the body of a wealthy and powerful businessman named Charles Wellington. Now, Lance must navigate the challenges of being in a different body and using his new identity to his advantage.

As Lance settles into his new life, he starts to see the flaws in the world of the wealthy and powerful. He uses his comedic talents to bring humor and joy into the lives of those around him, including the woman he falls in love with, Sontee Jenkins.

Throughout the film, Lance learns valuable lessons about life, love, and following his dreams. As he strives to make a difference while living in the body of Charles Wellington, Lance realizes the importance of living in the present and cherishing the relationships that truly matter.

Down to Earth is a heartwarming comedy that explores themes of self-discovery, redemption, and the power of laughter.
