Based on a book which is itself supposedly based on a factual account of an abduction by aliens.

The quality of the film is barely any better than a TV movie of the week without anything to really make it stand out and claims to be based on truth is incredibly far fetched. For those who'd believe it's story, it has quite a tale to tell, but would've probably reached a bigger audience if it were done as an episode of TV show The X-Files.
