Hangar (18) Movie Review

Somewhat silly and cynical (and what's wrong with that?) UFO coverup story, with a plot similar to Capricorn One. Two astronauts are scapegoated for the loss of a shuttle that has actually collided with a UFO. When they learn that the government is hiding the evidence in the title hangar (think it's in area 51, boys?), they set out to blow the lid of off things. Robert Vaughn delivers as a typically sleazy and very sneaky politician who will do anything to prevent the news from leaking out. Directed by James L. Conway, who made some of the “fine” Sunn Classic pseudo-documentaries. The ending should satisfy most conspiracy freaks who will probably shout “I told you so” out loud. Shown on TV as Invasion Force with a different ending. AKA: Invasion Force.
