Director: Robert Lieberman
Starring: D.B. Sweeney, Robert Patrick, Craig Sheffer
My Rating: Didn't like it
Fire in the Sky is simply about an alien abduction. A bunch of guys coming home from work late one night see a red light taking over the sky. They come upon a spaceship and one of the guys stupidly gets out of the truck to investigate, leading to his abduction.
The vast majority of the film is about how the town doesn't believe what the boys say happened and then accusing them of murdering their missing friend and co-worker. This takes up a lot of the story and is pretty boring honestly. It's about an hour long argument amongst many people that can be summarized as, "You did it!" "No! We didn't!" And some of it seems like a melodramatic lifetime movie that's being overacted to the extreme.
And that's really a shame because there is a terrifying five-minute sequence towards the end that is quite great. If you have any interest in seeing this scene, here it is. There is no real point to watching the movie, because that is the only exciting or slightly interesting scene. And you don't need any more context than what I've given you, so if you watch that clip, you've basically seen this movie. It's hard for me to recommend a movie when it's 5 minutes of great and 90 some minutes of boring. But definitely watch that scene!
