Fire in the Sky (1993)

 HALLOWEEN REVIEWS 2024


Director: Robert Lieberman

Writers: Tracy Torme, based on the book by Travis Walton

Stars: D.B. Sweeney, Robert Patrick, Craig Sheffer, Peter Berg, Henry Thomas, Bradley Gregg, Noble Willingham, James Garner



A very enjoyable film.



The mystery surrounding Travis Walton's abduction by a UFO and the public suspicion directed at his coworkers is well-handled.



The cast, which includes James Garner, Robert Patrick, and D.B. Sweeney among other familiar faces, is outstanding.

 


The scenes aboard the UFO are harrowing.



However, the filmmakers misstepped by making Travis' friend the dramatic center of the film rather than Travis himself.

 


It would have been interesting to see Travis trying to cope with everyday life after his terrifying experience.
