XFILE TV SHOW MOVIE

The show's popularity peaked in the mid-to-late '90s, even inspiring a hit movie in 1998. The X-Files also featured many 'monster of the week' episodes ranging in tone from horror to comedy, in which Mulder and Scully investigated unique, stand-alone cases that did not usually have long-term implications. As the show progressed both Mulder and Scully became embroiled in the same larger conflicts (termed 'the mythology' or ' mytharc' by the show's creators) and developed a close and ambiguous friendship - which some fans, known as ' shippers,' saw as more than platonic. Mulder plays the role of the 'believer,' having faith in the existence of aliens and the paranormal, while Scully plays the skeptic, initially assigned by her departmental superiors to debunk Mulder's unconventional work and contain its profound implications. In the series, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson play two FBI agents, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who are tasked with investigating the titular 'X-Files.' These cases, marginalized by the FBI, often involve paranormal phenomena. government, and belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life. The X-Files was one of the network's first major hits, and its main characters and slogans ('The Truth Is Out There,' 'Trust No One,' 'Deny Everything,' 'I Want to Believe') became pop culture touchstones, simultaneously tapping into and inspiring a plethora of conspiracy theories, paranoia about the U.S. The show first aired on FOX on September 10, 1993, and ended after a nine-year run on May 19, 2002. The X-Files is an American television series created by Chris Carter.
