This eye-opening documentary focuses on the stranger-than-fiction tale of a group of young filmmakers in London who accidentally found themselves the centre of a worldwide media storm and string of conspiracy theories.

In 1995, the group created an 18-minute ‘found footage’ video of grainy films showing an alien autopsy in their London flat. Claiming it was from Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, they accidentally sparked “confirmation” that aliens were real, with government officials, military analysts and conspiracy theorists all looking into it.

To this day, some still believe it to be true.

But the scandal opened up a wider debate over the existence of extraterrestrial life, with whistleblowers coming forward with their own claims of unexplainable events, and the mysteries around Roswell, New Mexico continuing to this day.

Did the group accidentally stumble onto a truth that something is actually out there?

Based on a true story, Dead Man’s Wire follows Tony Kiritsis, who in 1977 rigged a sawn-off shotgun to his mortgage broker’s neck and held him hostage. The shotgun is triggered by a ‘dead man’s wire’, so is rigged to go off if he even tries to escape. As the entire event is broadcast on live television and captured national attention, the pair engage in an intense stand-off so the Kiritsis can get what he wants.
