V (or
V: The Original Miniseries) is a two-part American
science fiction television miniseries, written and directed by
Kenneth Johnson. First shown in 1983, it initiated
the science fiction franchise concerning aliens known as the "
Visitors" trying to gain control of Earth and of the ways the populace reacts.
.....
Television journalist cameraman Michael Donovan, along with his cameraman and close friend, Tony Wah Chong Leonetti, covertly board one of the Visitors' motherships.
Donovan discovers that beneath their human-like façade—a thin, synthetic skin and human-eye contact lenses—the aliens are carnivorous reptilian humanoids with horned foreheads and green, scaly skin. He also witnesses them eating whole live animals such as rodents and birds. Donovan, who first took footage of one of the alien ships flying overhead while on duty in El Salvador, records some of his findings on videotape and escapes from the mothership with the evidence, but Tony is captured. However, just as the
exposé is about to air on television, the broadcast is interrupted by the Visitors, who have taken control of the media. Their announcement makes Donovan a fugitive pursued by both the police and the Visitors.
