SYNOPSIS:  Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is a provocative thriller set in Nome, Alaska, where -- mysteriously since the 1960s -- a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year.  Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered.  Set in remote Alaska, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented.  Using this never-before-seen archival footage alongside dramatizations, The Fourth Kind exposes the chilling truth behind these disappearances.
