In this modern-day fairy tale, Eddie Murphy stars as a wealthy and pampered African prince who comes to America in search of a bride. His destination, of course, is Queens, New York. Accompanied by his closest companion (Arsenio Hall), the Prince quickly finds a job, new friends, new digs, new enemies, and more trouble than he ever imagined. COMING TO AMERICA is a truly hysterical fable with multiple cameos by Murphy and Hall that are not to be missed.
Prince Akeem is heir to the throne of Zamunda. He insists on choosing his own wife by setting off for America to find her. There the fun starts.
