Taken (Season 1)

Taken (2002) is a Sci Fi Channel miniseries you can watch online on iFILM, produced by Steven Spielberg and spanning nearly sixty years of American history — from the Roswell crash of 1947 to the early 2000s. Dakota Fanning narrates as the youngest member of a lineage touched by something the government would rather keep buried.

Three families carry the weight of that something across twelve episodes. The Crawfords are the official gatekeepers, scrubbing every trace of alien contact from the record. The Keys have been subjected to unexplained experimentation for generations, with no warning and no recourse. The Clarkes once sheltered a surviving visitor and have lived with the consequences ever since. The series moves through decades and perspectives, each episode adding another layer rather than just prolonging the mystery.

With a total runtime close to seven hours, this is more long-form cinema than a regular TV season. Directors including Tobe Hooper contributed to the anthology-style production. For viewers who want a closed-ended alien story — one that actually delivers answers — this is the one. Stream all episodes of Taken online on iFILM.
