“Fire in the Sky” (1993)
Perhaps you are the “Citizen Kane”The following movies are about alien abductions: “Fire in the Sky”It is still quite disturbing to read the story of Travis Walton (D.B. Sweeney, who was abducted by an unknown force from Snowflake (Arizona), His dimwit friends, including Peter Berg and Robert Patrick were arrested and charged with murder. When he returned to Snowflake, Arizona it only led more questions and a deeper mystery.
James Garner is terrific as the local sheriff investigating the disappearance, and the movie’s centerpiece, a lengthy abduction sequence exquisitely shot by Bill Pope with effects from ILM, is deeply terrifying. (The adaptation also wisely chose to exclude some of the more head-scratching elements of Walton’s account, including his interaction with a second alien race he referred to as “the Nordic”He was aided by many people. Like “Nope,” “Fire in the Sky”This inverts the usual big-eyed alien trope and instead offers small-eyed, creepier aliens.
