Plot

Bobby Sinclaire (Robert Carradine), a failing Californian musician, meets telepathic Iris Longacre (Cherie Currie) in a bar and they begin a relationship. At Sinclaire's apartment, Longacre begins to hear things others cannot. The young couple discover the voices are from a childlike race of aliens being held by the U.S. government after their UFO crashed. The government plans to use the trio of aliens for experimentation and dissection in a supposedly abandoned underground bunker located near Sinclaire's apartment. The couple decides to liberate the aliens and help them return them to their mothership.

Major note:

According to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON Journal) of Oct 2022, this movie is based on true events that occurred in early 1973 at Hunter Leggett Military reservation in Monterrey County CA. According to Lawrence Livermore Labs physicist Arthur Neumann also known as Henry Deacon, during a testing of a special experimental laser weapon, a disk shaped craft appeared out of nowhere about 100 ft wide and about 25 ft high. It hovered 150-200 yards away directly in front of them. It was out over a field and possibly filmed, when someone testing the new laser weapon shot at the object. As a result, the craft was disabled and downed. The military was able to get inside and captured the occupants who were small, and child like sized humanoids. They had small almond shaped eyes like the grays, and were alive. Where they were taken along with their craft by the Air Force who was testing the new laser, it is not known.

Reception

TV Guide gave the movie two out of five stars, praising the movie's sense of morality and soundtrack, but found Carradine's performance lacking during the music scenes and the narration at the beginning and ending of the film to be very detrimental to the movie.[2] Moria found that the movie has a promising build up, but that the film heads in predictable directions, and that its special effects were lacking.[3] Creature Feature found that the movie was an interesting morality tale, and also praised the soundtrack, but said that the use of children to play the aliens hampered the film.[4][5]

Production

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (October 2021)

It was planned for the movie to be released before E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, but implementation of the film's special effects delayed its release.[6] A later 1984 film release called Starman was accused of plagiarising Wavelength.[7]
