A poster for the movie 'The Lemurian Candidate' shows a mountain with a UFO emitting a green light over it. In the foreground, three people are around a campfire at night, with mountains and a colorful sky in the background.

Two friends take their troubled buddy on a Mt. Shasta backpacking trip to reconnect. But when he upends their plans with a stash of hallucinogens and a wild theory, their weekend on the trail spirals into a surreal quest for meaning… and contact with alien beings.
