The X-Files

The X-Files (1998) is a science-fiction thriller from director Rob Bowman that you can watch online on iFILM. The big-screen leap for Chris Carter's cult series drops FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully into a Dallas afternoon shattered by a bomb that wrecks a federal building and hides something far worse.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson return as the partners who made the show a phenomenon. With the X-Files unit shut down and the two of them split up by the Bureau, the blast leads them toward an ancient virus, a syndicate of powerful men who answer to no one, and a frozen facility buried under Antarctic ice. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to stay alive.

Martin Landau, Armin Mueller-Stahl, and William B. Davis as the Cigarette Smoking Man round out the cast. The film carries the series' mythology to theaters without losing the paranoia, the dry humor, or the unspoken tension between its two leads. Stream The X-Files (1998) online on iFILM.
