The filmed version of the best-selling book by Erich von Daniken gives stunning visual proof that some form of life from outer space landed on Earth centuries ago. It took five years for von Daniken to document the physical evidence of visits by galactic travellers who came to earth. Just what they did here, and the influences they left behind, are the core of this film. In search of basic truths, Chariots of the Gods, takes the viewer into the far reaches of underground caves and tombs, and to the tops of desolate mountains on every major continent to show the evidence von Daniken has collected. Although his controversial film provides the answers to age old mysteries, it may also be the beginning of an entirely new set of questions.
