Member Rating:  
Director Jonny Campbell teams with screenwriter William Davies for this satirical look at the notorious, purportedly genuine "Alien Autopsy" video that fascinated viewers worldwide before being exposed as an elaborately staged hoax in 1995. Aired in America by the Fox network, the Alien Autopsy video caused an overnight sensation among UFO enthusiasts while proving just how susceptible to hype the media truly is. Now viewers can follow the adventures of ambitious British pranksters Gary (Ant McPartlin) and Ray (Declan Donnelly) as they execute one of the largest-scale practical jokes ever attempted. Bill Pullman and Harry Dean Stanton co-star in a comedy that encourages viewers to believe none of what they hear, and only half of what they see. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    The true story of two British lads and a handful of their mates, and a Hoax that captivated the World. In 1995 Ray a video pirate and Elvis memorabilia seller gets his stuff (along with friend Gary's car) siezed. Seeing an opportunity Ray and Gary travel to Ohio looking for items from a tour Elvis had there in 1957. Ray meets Harvey, an elderly man with a film he himself shot of the Kings concert. Later Ray again meets Harvey who tells him of a film he has that he shot as a war photographer in 1947, film of an autopsy being performed on a Roswell crash victim. Borrowing $30,000 from Laszlo, a crazy Hungarian Art Dealer Ray buys the film only to discover it has degraded. So Ray and Gary hatch a plan to film their own autopsy and it works, then after a screening for media types and UFO fans. The story catches fire and the film is broadcast the world over (including the US, see "Alien Autopsy: Fact or Faked" hosted by Jonathan Frakes) propelling Ray to instant celebrity.
