Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A 2001 adaptation of the 1990 novel of the same name, K-PAX is the story of a clinical psychiatrist (Jeff Bridges) who takes on a patient claiming to be an extraterrestrial from an advanced alien civilization. The patient (Kevin Spacey), named prot (rhymes with "goat" and spelled with all lowercase letters) displays vast academic knowledge and remarkable philosophical outlooks, which begin having positive effects on the patients and staff of the Manhattan Psychiatric Institute... while leading to increasing uncertainty over his true origins.K-PAX is host to scores of theories as to the exact nature of prot's character, and remains one of the definitive Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane films to this day. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| K-PAX / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: A slight example in Russell, the highly religious patient. The book has him being very antagonistic to prot, considering him to be the work of the Devil and wanting nothing to do with him. The film keeps him in the background, but asks if he can take his Bible to K-PAX. | |

Artistic License – Medicine | |
| K-PAX / int_8d6d9535 | comment |
Artistic License – Medicine: Powell's behavior with prot, like talking about him to friends and family, could possibly cost him his license depending on the specifics of what he told them (doctor-patient confidentiality laws would mostly rule that he shouldn't discuss intimate details about a patient and their care). | |

Adaptation Dye-Job | |
| K-PAX / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: prot is described in the book as having hair that is "thick and coal black". Kevin Spacey's portrayal is his natural hair - medium brown and slightly balding. | |
