The Name "Roswell" (the Town Nearest the actual event) has Become a Part of the History and "Mythology" of the UFO-Flying-Saucer Events in the 20th Century.
In 1994 When the Movie was Made, a Number of "Witnesses" and "Hands-On" Individuals were Still Alive and "Talking' about the Crash that Made Headlines Across America.
The Ink wasn't Dry on those Newspaper Headlines when the Government Retracted the "Real" Story and said it was a Mistake.
What was Reported (by Servicemen in the 509th Bomb-Wing, Americas only Nuclear equipped base) was in Error and it was Nothing More than a Routine "Weather Balloon".
Stretching Credulity to the Limit, Folks Bought the "Cover-Up" Story and, for that Matter, every Other Following "Cover-Up" Story about the "Roswell Incident" (Mogul balloons and Crash-Dummies).
This Made for "Showtime" TV-Movie Tells the Tale Mostly from the POV of Maj. Jesse Marcel, who Famously is the One Pictured in the Newspaper Photos Holding the Tin-Foil and Basal-Wood.
The Movie is a Spot-On Dramatization...
Starting in Marcel's Old Age and Flashes Back to the "Roswell Incident" and its Surrounding Circumstances, by the Govt. And Others Involved, Immediately Following the Crash.
From What can be Ascertained from Survivors who Participated, this is an Accurate Portrayal and Look at What Occurred.
Maj. Marcel's Real-Life Son, in His Last Interview Said that it was a Good Look at the Crash, Cover-Up, and Residual Events.
A Fine Cast, Led by Kyle MacLachlan, with an Extended Cameo from Martin Sheen, Highlighted by a Snappy Dwight Yokum as Mac Brazel (the rancher where the debris was discovered), with...
Many Other Recognizable Character Actors Contribute.
The Film is Highly-Entertaining (for believers and non believers), Suspenseful and Informative and has a Surreal Style that is Intriguing, Befitting the Intrigue of the Story.
The Opening Credit Sequence Using Real Newsreel Footage is Worth the Price of Admission.
An Unrecognized "Hidden-Gem" of Ufology that Holds-Up Extremely Well, and Should be More Well Known and Appreciated.
For Fans of the Paranormal, UFOs, Flying-Saucers, and the Conspiracy-Crazed, a...Must-See
For All Others, it's...
Worth a Watch.
Note...Nominated for a "Golden Globe" for Best Cable-TV Movie.
