Blurring the lines of fiction and reality, The Phoenix Incident is based on the largest UFO sighting in North American history known as the Phoenix Lights that occurred on March 13, 1997 in Phoenix, Arizona, where thousands of people, including then-state senator John McCain, claimed to have simultaneously witnessed unexplainable lights in the night sky. The fact based, sci-fi thriller revolves around a military conspiracy and the controversial missing persons case surrounding the infamous event.
To celebrate the release of the The Phoenix Incident on DVD on 7 September from Signature Entertainment, we’ve got a very special exclusive clip for you!
The Phoenix Lights phenomenon hit close to home for director Keith Arem, an Arizona native, who wrote and directed the sci-fi thriller about four unsolved missing persons cases connected to the Phoenix phenomenon using whistleblower testimony, recovered military footage, and eyewitness accounts to explore the U.S. military’s alleged engagement of alien spacecrafts that night.
While The Phoenix Incident marks his feature directorial debut, Arem has spent two decades in video games as the talent director for AAA franchise hits such as “Call of Duty,” “Saints Row,” “Ghost Recon,” “Spiderman,” “Tony Hawk Pro Skater,” “Persona,” “Prince of Persia,” and “Rainbow Six”.
The cast features some of the gaming industry’s biggest stars including Troy Baker (“The Last of Us,” “BioShock Infinite,” “Batman: Arkham City”) and Yuri Lowenthal (“Prince of Persia”, “Sunset Overdrive”, “Dragon Age”, “Castlevania”), and Jamie Tisdale (“From Dusk Till Dawn”).
