- THE STORY - A 50-Year Epic Tale Told Over 10 Nights TAKEN is an epic saga that weaves together the stories of three generations in the lives of three families � and their crucial roles in the history of alien abductions. Set against the backdrop of actual history and UFO lore, Taken creates a powerfully emotional and evocative tale of mankind's encounters with extraterrestrials. The story begins with RUSSELL KEYS, an American WWII pilot who is dying of a bullet wound while his plane spirals down into enemy territory. Blue lights on the horizon interrupt his plane's descent � and some time later he and his squadron find themselves mysteriously whole and healed, on safe ground with absolutely no memory of how they got there. Only years later, as each member of the squadron dies inexplicably, does Russell understand that his life has been forever altered by this first alien encounter. Haunted, he searches for answers to his unfolding memories, only to realize he is powerless to prevent his son and subsequent generations from also becoming abductees. When the 1947 crash of a UFO near Roswell, N.M., occurs a few years later, U.S. military man OWEN CRAWFORD leverages his knowledge of the incident to become a major player in the subsequent cover-up and secret government investigation of the aliens' presence. This begins a decades-long effort by the Crawford family to use the government's investigations to secure their own powerful legacy � and to stop anyone who gets in their way. Also, shortly after the Roswell crash, a chance encounter with a wounded man nearby sets off its own strange chain of events. SALLY CLARKE is a lonely woman who unexpectedly finds love in the arms of the alien stranger. Despite Sally's conviction that she has met an otherworldly alien, the other members of the Clarke family are unconvinced, even after she bears a son, JACOB, who manifests remarkable intuitive powers. Skepticism eventually evolves into obsessive belief, but too late to save the family from being pulled deeper into the terrifying, secret designs of both the government and the extraterrestrials. The grand scale of these three families' tale is told through the voice of ALLIE KEYS, a 10-year-old girl whose journey is at the heart of Taken. From the skies over Germany during the Second World War to the modern tales of abduction that began with the 1977 release of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, SCI FI Channel's provocative, 20-hour miniseries explores 50 years of history with an exacting eye toward the intricate lore of alien encounters. As we reach the present day, the decades of secrets unravel � and all three families must come together to unlock the awe-inspiring mysteries of being Taken. |
