Fire in the Sky

In 1975, a group of five men are driving home after working in a forest when they see a mysterious bluish-white light. Travis Walton (D.B. Sweeney) curiously leaves the truck to investigate the strange phenomenon -- the light captures him resulting in the beam teleporting him up into the flying saucer. The other four men report what had happen to their friend. Of course, no one believes them. The movie deals with the account of Travis Walton's ordeal and escape from what appears to be a hibernation chamber. Inside the small chamber, he is wrapped in a membrane. He frees himself only to find out there are many chambers with dissimilar specimens. Eventually, he is confronted by one of his small-statured captures who Travis punches in the face. After begin missing for five days, Travis is back on Earth and manages to make his way to a phone booth to call his home. His friends arrive at a gas station only to find Travis naked, bruised and scared. The next few days, he is able to recollect the memories of his encounter aboard the spacecraft.
