'For five days, a man was borrowed....'
1993's Fire In The Sky is probably one of the most famous 'alien abduction' films, with one of the most terrifying scenes of what happened to one man who 'borrowed' and then used and experimented on. I remember seeing the film on when I was a teenager, and the abduction scene remained in my memory, and my nightmares, for years after.
The story follows Travis Walton, (D.B Sweeney) an Arizona logger who mysteriously disappears for five days. Early in the film, Travis and a group of his friends encounter the visiting space craft, and Travis is drawn to the light and to the ship. His friends take off, but Travis has endures an alleged painful alien encounter and examination.
Travis' friends and co-words endure ridicule and contempt and even accused of foul play by Lieutenant Frank Watters played by James Garner. Five days later, one of Travis' friends receives a phone call, and they find Travis, naked and terrified outside of a local gas station.
The film is based on the book The Walton Experience by Travis Walton. In the book, Walton tells how he was abducted by aliens aboard a UFO. The writers and producers of the film however, felt the account of his 'abduction; so the took creative license to make a more dramatic alien encounter.
Although I remembered the film, and the abduction scene, I'd forgotten how hot the male cast was, and how many I've previously featured on FH. They include; Henry Thomas, (HERE:) Robert Patrick, (HERE:) Peter Berg, (HERE:) and Craig Sheffer. (HERE:) Unfortunately, one of my favorites, actor Bradley Gregg, never had a nude scene, not that I could find anyway.
Although star D.B Sweeney had a nude scene in the film, it was a side view, and you didn't really see much. Sweeney showed a 'wee' bit more in the 1999 drama, The Weekend. In the film, Sweeney played Tony, the lover of Lyle. (David Conrad) I couldn't find a great copy of the film, the 'blueish' tone is due to these being dream flashbacks.
