For
many years it has been rumoured that a crashed flying saucer and its alien
pilot have been concealed at Area 51, the United States' top secret military
base.
On 13 March, 1997, four young men were reported missing near Phoenix, Arizona,
having disappeared without trace. Glenn Lauder (Yuri Lowenthal), Mitch Adams
(Travis Williamson), Ryan Stone (Troy Baker) and Jacob Reynolds (Liam O'Brien)
went into the desert with their friend Melissa Henessey (Jamie Tisdale).
At the time strange lights were seen in formation over the desert and the
USAF deployed F-15s to investigate. Known as 'The Phoenix Lights Incident',
it was shrouded in secrecy, with top military figures refusing to disclose
information.
When their ute hit a stone and stopped dead, Glenn, Mitch, Ryan and Jacob
decided to go on foot to see if they could find out what the lights were,
leaving Melissa with the vehicle. It was a fatal mistake as she never saw
them again.
Walton Samuel Gayson (Michael Braithwaite), a loner with a history of violence,
was arrested on suspicion of involvement with their disappearance but there
was insufficient evidence to convict him. There was no trace of the boys.
The Phoenix Incident is a riveting foray into the world of UFOs as well as
a fascinating reconstruction of what actually happened before four young men
disappeared and a suggestion of what may have happened to them subsequently.
Intriguing and thought-provoking. Is the truth really out there?
Written and directed by gaming veteran Keith Arem (Call of Duty: Black
Ops; Titanfall) The Phoenix Incident chronicles the US military's
alleged engagement with extraterrestrial forces on the well documented night
of the Phoenix Lights.
Dedicated to the members of the intelligence community who provided the evidence
to make the film possible, The Phoenix Incident also features: James
Patrick Stewart as David Collins; Fife III as Himself; John McCain as Himself;
Ryan Keating as Lt Col James Edwards; and Scot Ruggles as Lt S Jordan.
The well-matched Music is by John Paesano; Director of Photography is Brandon
