One of the best and most topical UFO films ever made. Distributed by Sunn Classics and directed by James L. Conway, this film tells the story of a UFO that crashes into a space satellite and falls to earth and the huge US Government cover up that follows.
A pair of the astronauts attempt to fond out the truth, but their search becomes dangerous when the government decides it does not want to secret out about the UFO or it occupants.
Gary Collins and James Hampton are the astronauts hunted by the government. Robert Vaughn is a vicious agent who is more interested in the upcoming Presidential election than anything and want the cover up to continue at all costs. Joseph Campanella is Vaughn's flunkie.
The ship is taken to Hanger 18 and investigated by Harry Forbes, played by Darren McGavin. They manage to get inside the craft and find some startling facts abut human existence and the aliens. The government and Vaughn decide to destroy everything connected with hanger 18 an they fully intend to kill everyone involved.
This movie plays like the US Government is being run today...full of cover ups and lies and that is why it is so good. This story is very plausible and possible. All of the actors do an excellent job and if you watch this with a very open mind, you will understand a lot more. Highly Recommended film.
A personal side note: My mother used to work for Sunn Classics and she recommended this film for me to see, and it took me 33 years to finally see it. Don't you wait that long.
