Six men saw it. One became a prisoner inside it. but who would believe them? Fire in the Sky is the amazing tale of Travis Walton, a local man from the town of Snowflake, Az who claims he was abducted by aliens. he was found five days later naked and bruised. the film spends a lot of time on the five other men who try to explain Waltons mysterious disappearance. the cast give tremendous performances (Sweeney and Patrick are the standouts) and its clearly an example of an overlooked and underrated gem.
One scene of the film that truly stands out is the chilling flashback to Travis experience in the UFO. it is very realistic and one of the scariest sequences in film history. for those ten minutes is what makes this film the best sci fi film in cinematic history because it is breathtakingly real and the feeling that we are there with Travis as he relieves this memory makes it all the more memorable. a definite underrated masterpiece.

Word cannot begin to descibe how beautiful this film was. the acting cinematography and direction were all superb. Jim Caviezal portrays Jesus the best of any actor in Hollywood and works wonders in this gem. His movements his reaction to the pain he suffers, his eye movements *(he even seems to speak with his eyes while not talking) the crucifixtion scene is the most brutal part of the film the whole film is brutal but its so engrossing you cant look away from the screen, and it speaks to your heart. Every blow Jesus takes i felt as well but it is not sad we are not witnessing a tragedy its an accomplishment (if it did not happen we would all be doomed forever.) We are with the actors every painful step of the way and by the end it feels as though we are now one with them thats how much the depth of this film means (to call it a film does not do it justice it is more of an experience like no others.) The Greatest movie i have ever seen in a long time.
This is the single best movie i have ever seen. It's so harrowing and suspenseful and realistic. The fear and confusion those people went through must have been terrifying but they managed to overcome their fear and unite to try and retake their plane against a faceless enemy. On a day we suffered unthinkable disaster and devastating defeat, Flight 93 brought consolation to many people as it shows that even against all odds we can stand together in the face of danger. This film should be preserved as a reminder that we are all capable of self sacrifice and heroism when we are at our most vulnerable. Paul Greengrass has created a masterpiece that will stand the test of time as a stirring tribute to all those who died on 9/11.
RIP Flight 93 passengers and crew.
