V: The Original Miniseries

Under the guise of friendship, aliens from outer space land on Earth. Soon after, several of the Earth's top scientists disappear. A freelance photographer investigates and finds he's become a wanted man.

Under the guise of friendship, aliens from outer space invade the Earth to conquer humanity and steal one of its most precious commodities -- water. While most of the world remains unaware of their motives, a handful of people begin a resistance movement to oppose the aliens.

The false friendship of outer space aliens who have taken control of the earth is exposed when a small band of resistance fighters prove, on global television, that the alien leader (RICHARD HERD) is really a reptilian creature hiding inside a skin like covering which makes him appear human.

To thwart the schemes of a dominating force of alien invaders who have shackled the world, a brave band of resistance fighters draw on the wisdom of a professional soldier (MICHAEL IRONSIDE) to counterattack with rescues of their imprisoned comrades and oversee a spectacular raid to halt the alien hijacking of the earth's water supply.

To free the world from control by alien intruders, freedom fighters turn to a newly developed toxin. Their success is countered by the alien arming of a thermonuclear device, and it seems only a miracle can save the planet now.
