Fire in the Sky (1993 film).

[DOCUMENTED as a film; DRAMATIZATION] 1993 sci-fi/horror film dir. Robert Lieberman, screenplay Tracy Torme, based on Travis Walton's 'The Walton Experience.' Its famous onboard-abduction scenes were largely invented for the screen and bear little resemblance to Walton's published claims.
Studio executives found Walton's actual account 'boring' and demanded the gruesome invented exam sequence. Important for the knowledge graph because the film is often conflated with Walton's testimony; director Lieberman publicly suspected the underlying story was a hoax. It is cultural amplification, not evidentiary support.
