The movie is The X-Files, the premiere feature-length film based on the groundbreaking dramatic television series from Chris Carter starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. In this exclusive book, Jody Duncan takes you behind the camera, on location, and into the hearts and minds of the incomparable creator, cast, and crew whose dedication and hard work resulted in a multimillion dollar motion picture--from the preproduction to final cut and finished product--in just one year.

• And much, much more!
