Thirty-seven thousand years ago, a deadly secret was buried in a cave in Texas. Now the secret has been unleashed. And it's discovery may mean the end of all humanity.

"The plague to end all plagues"

When a terrorist bomb destroys a building in Dallas, Texas, FBI Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy surpassing anything they've ever encountered. With the dubious assistance of a paranoid doctor (Academy Award -winner Martin Landau). Mulder and Scully risk their careers and their lives to hunt down a deadly virus which may be extraterrestrial in origin - and could destroy all life on earth. Their pursuit of truth pits them against the mysterious Syndicate, powerful men who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe, leading the agents from the cave in Texas, to the halls of the FBI, and finally to a secret installation in Antarctica which holds the greatest secret of all.

Simply One of the BEST, But Only Leaves You Wanting More!
Simply One of the BEST, But Only Leaves You Wanting More!

When this was originally released on VHS, i had a copy, but never got around to finishing it. The start was a bit on the slow side and i never saw the show. I immediately categorized this as a movie that could not be watched without knowing the history of the show. AMZ recently had season one of X-Files on sale, so i decided to pick up a copy. It was one of the best decisions i ever made while shopping, absolutely no regrets. I was introduced to a great show with a great cast.

Since watching season one on DVD i kept house hunting to find my old VHS tape. Unfortunately, i could not find it anywhere. I picked up the movie recently because the original release had been discontinued. Now that the 2nd movie is out, the original has been re-released. I picked this up and must say i am blown away.

It's an excellent movie and much like the series it only makes you beg for more. It's a bit unusual to see David so young. He almost looks like a kid. The film has an excellent story line & only keeps you hooked the whole way through. One of the best 2 hours i ever spent watching a movie. Check this out if you love the series & check it out if you were every curious about this show. A must have.

Must own for X-Philes
X-Files: Fight the Future flowed well in the series for when it came out, I think in between the fifth and sixth seasons. Conspiracy theories, Well-manicured man, black oil and bees? You can't get better than that in the XF universe. More Mulder and Scully than X-Files:I Want to Believe, and a better overall plot, but I still think that one is a must own for X-Files fans too.

Right now, at $5.99 at Amazon is a great price for a movie who previously was considered "Hard to find" and was going past $60 on Ebay. I took away a star for pacing. There are slow, boring moments in between decent action and dialogue, and while there is good amount of Mulder and Scully, there is not enough of them together to rate an excellent 5 stars. Still, a great movie for the story arc and the series as a whole. Highly recommended for every X-Phile, and a nice lowered sale price great for those philes to pick it up.

The X-Files: Fight the Future
Was this better in the theater? Years later, I can't remember but it was definitely a must have for my X-Files DVD collection. And 2 solid hours with Mulder and Scully isn't so bad...
