THE FOURTH KIND (2009)
SYNOPSIS
In 1972, a scale of measurement was established for
alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an
encounter of the first kind. When evidence is
collected, it is known as an encounter of the second
kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is
the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth
kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to
document…until now.
Structured unlike any film before it, THE FOURTH KIND
is a provocative thriller set in modern-day Nome,
Alaska, where mysteriously – since the 1960s – a
disproportionate number of the population has been
reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI
investigations of the region, the truth has never been
discovered.
Here in the remote regions, psychologist Dr. Abigail
Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with
traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some
of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever
documented.
Using never-before-seen archival footage that is
integrated into the film, THE FOURTH KIND exposes the
terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their
accounts of being visited by alien figures all share
disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is
investigated throughout the film.--© Universal
