The X-Files

(Fox)

The big-screen version of Fox's hit TV show, with credulous Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and skeptical Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigating Mulder's theory that a global group of rich and powerful men have conspired for the last 50 years to hide the presence of alien visitors on Earth and have even connived with the aliens to seize power and subjugate the human race. It's a decent catch-up if you're unfamiliar with the show, but fans shouldn't expect anything grander than a solid two-hour episode of the series.
