''Fire in the Sky'' is a 1993 American biopic science fiction mystery film based on an alleged extraterrestrial encounter, directed by Robert Lieberman, written by Tracy Tormé and is based on Travis Walton's book ''The Walton Experience''. The film stars Robert Patrick in the leading role as Walton's best friend and future brother-in-law, Mike Rogers, and D. B. Sweeney as Walton himself. James Garner, Craig Sheffer, Scott MacDonald, Henry Thomas and Peter Berg also star. ==Plot summary== On November 5, 1975 in Snowflake, Arizona, logger Travis Walton (D. B. Sweeney), and his co-workers—Mike Rogers (Robert Patrick), Allan Dallas (Craig Sheffer), David Whitlock (Peter Berg), Greg Hayes (Henry Thomas) and Bobby Cogdill (Bradley Gregg)—head to work in the White Mountains. Driving home from work, the men come across an unidentified flying object. Curious to learn more, Walton gets out of the truck and is struck by a bright beam of light from the object and is sent flying several feet backwards as if pushed by an unseen force. Fearing Walton was just killed, the others flee the scene. Rogers decides to go back to the spot to retrieve Walton, but he is nowhere to be found. Making their way back to town to report the incident, the loggers are met with skepticism, as they relate what sounds like a tall tale to Sheriff Blake Davis (Noble Willingham) and Lieutenant Frank Watters (James Garner). They are suspected of foul play despite no apparent motive or knowledge of Walton's whereabouts. After interviewing the men, Lieutenant Watters realizes there is a lot of tension between Walton and Dallas, leading him to believe this might be a murder investigation. The Lieutenant also discovers a tabloid newspaper in their truck with headlines about aliens, hinting that they used the article to concoct their story. The men are accused of murder and are threatened by Travis's brother Dan Walton (Scott MacDonald). The men are offered a lie detector test and take it. After the testing is complete, Rogers is outraged that the results aren't shared and he and his guys refuse to come back the next day to take it again. However, after the men leave, the man who administered the tests tells the Sheriff and Lieutenant that with the exception of Dallas' test (which was inconclusive), the other men seem to be telling the truth. Five days later, Rogers receives a call from someone claiming to be Walton. He is found at a Heber gas station, alive but naked, dehydrated, and incoherent. A ufologist questions Walton but he is thrown out and Walton is taken to a hospital. Rogers visits Walton while in the emergency room and ends up telling Walton that he left him after he was struck by the light but came back to get him. Walton appears very angry by this and turns away from Rogers who blames the whole incident on Walton for getting out of the truck. During a welcome home party, Walton suffers a flashback of the abduction by the extraterrestrials. He suddenly remembers waking up confused and finds himself inside a slimy womb-like storage cocoon built into the walls within an alien spacecraft. As Walton breaks out of the cocoon, he quickly becomes disoriented when he learns the environment around him has no gravity. In a state of shock, he attempts to find a way to escape only to discover other cocoons filled with the decomposing corpses of other human beings. Terrified, he wanders (or rather floats) around aimlessly until the aliens catch him. Walton is unwillingly dragged down dark corridors cluttered with items from earth, such as keys, shoes, books and eye glasses, etc (collected junk most likely belonging to the previous people abducted). He is taken to a strange exam room for experimentation. Here, he is immediately stripped down and covered with a white elastic sheet, which tightly pins him to an examination table under a blinding white light. Despite Walton's frantic cries, the aliens do not acknowledge his suffering. Instead, they look at him with great curiosity and disdain. They show Walton no mercy and without speaking a single word, subject him to an extremely painful and horrific experiment in which tubes are slid down his throat, a jelly-like substance is shoved into his mouth, a sharp device is inserted into his neck, and a needle goes through his eye. Afterwards, Walton loses consciousness until finding himself back on earth disoriented and severely traumatized. While interviewing Walton, Lieutenant Watters expresses his doubts about the abduction as merely a hoax. He notes Walton's new found celebrity because of the tabloids' attempts to profit from his tale. The film culminates with a denouement between Walton and Rogers. The closing titles state that in 1993 the loggers were resubmitted to additional polygraph examinations, which they passed, corroborating their innocence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fire in the Sky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
