Roswell, The U.F.O. Cover-Up

This made for television movie serves as a great introduction to the Roswell mystery for the hand full of people on the planet not yet familar with the whole thing. It follows the story of the actual Major Jesse Marcel who was the original chief investigator of the New Mexico crash site. Portrayed by Kyle MacLachlan who brings wonderful depth to the character, we follow Marcel to the end of his life where he is still searching for answers and expanations for the government cover-up. Though it is a TV drama, it does offer some fine stylings from the hand of director Jeremy Kagan and there is some mighty fine support work from Martin Sheen and Xander Berkeley. In all of this, Dwight Yoakam steals the show as the famer whose field the flying saucer crashed in. To this day, the Roswell Incident still catches the imagination of ufologists world wide and even if it simply was a weather balloon the story has become part of American legend...with this..you won;t find a better telling of the tale!
