Steven Spielberg, best known for movies like E.T. and Jaws, delivers a tour-de-force epic on a scale few “made-for-T.V.” movies have ever reached. Taken, a mini-series originally developed for Sci-Fi, is a multi-generation story of three families, and their experiences with other-worldly beings. The story begins during World War II and continues up to present day, elaborately exploring the lives of people who have been abducted and others who would cover up such knowledge.

The story is broken up into 10 episodes:

1.) “Beyond the Sky”, set in 1947, the first episode introduces the audience to three families whose lives will be forever changed by alien abduction, goverment cover-ups, and a series of events is put into motion that will effect future generations of these families for years to come.

2.) “Jacob and Jesse”, set in the early 50’s, these two boys are introduced to the series. Jacob, a boy who is half alien/half human, is sought out by the military for his unique abilities. Jesse, the son of an abductee is taken for the first time.

3.) “High Hopes”, set in the late 50’s, the story continues with Owen Crawford, top officer behind the military’s investigation into the U.F.O phenomenon, attempts to capture Jacob, and fails. Later, he is approached by Jesse Keys and discovers that both Jesse and his father have an alien implant in their brain.

4.) “Acid Test” Owen’s sons learn of their father’s involvement with the military cover up of extra-terrestrial contact when they discover the remains of the crashed ship in a safe within the father’s office.

5.) “Maintenance” Eric Crawford takes over his father’s work when Owen dies suddenly of a heart attack. He continues his father’s search for Jacob Clarke and Jesse Keys, the latter of whom disappeared from inside a military bunker during one of his abduction incidents.

6.) “Charlie and Lisa” Charlie, the son of Jesse, and Lisa, daughter of Jacob, are brought together by their alien abductors, and Lisa conceives a child, a little girl with extraordinary powers.

7.) “God’s Equation” Charlie and Lisa learn about their daughter Allie’s powers while trapped in a dangerous situation. Mary Crawford, grand-daughter of Owen Crawford, learns of the little girl and begins to make plans to take her.

8.) “Dropping the Dishes” General Bears kidnaps Allie in an attempt to lure the aliens to him. Realizing that Allie is an alien/human hybrid, and knowing that the aliens protect their own, he beleives they will come for her.

9.) “John” Charlie and Lisa conspire to save Allie from the military, and in so-doing, they learn of their daughter’s immense and amazing powers.

10.) “Taken” Allie learns who she really is-an alien/human hybrid, and she is forced to make the most difficult decision of her life, a choice that will forever change her life and that of her family.

The series combines state-of-the-art special effects with a story that is both compelling, entertaining, and high spirited. Such a major undertaking might not have worked even 10 years ago, but with the use of computer animation, the fantastic world of “Taken” is brought beautifully to life.

The story plays a little like an elaborate X-Files Episode, and not without good cause….the material is certainly similar. However, it is treated with a level of intelligence that really captures the imagination of the audience. Taken won the 2003 Emmy for best mini-series, an accomplishment well earned by the cast and crew of this enjoyable and massive film.

…flipping the channels something caught my eye and I stopped and not realizing what I was watching found myself mesmerized and enchanted by the quality of story, writing, acting, cinematagraphy–everything! I was hooked. I had avoided Taken because I have no interest yet another story about alien abductions, it’s been so over done that it’s a cliche, so when I realized what I was watching (surprise, surprise) I promptly called my friends and told them to watch it if they could. It was great; I was wrong to have avoided it!

It captured my imagination from the first episode to the last (though it did start to drag a bit in the middle). Still, I’m here looking to see if it’s on DVD so I can order it. I don’t love a show enough to want to buy it very often! This is one.

When I later realized that it was Spielberg, everything fell into place. It explained why Taken was top quality, working beautifully even with a cliche for a starting premise. What a glorious mini-series. Buy it, if that’s what you have to do to see it!
