Was The Abyss ('89) the first sci-fi movie in which the armed forces enlisted the help of civilians on a mission?
I was wondering if you could settle a debate I had with a friend. Was The Abyss ('89) the first sci-fi movie in which the armed forces enlisted the help of civilians on a mission?
The Abyss ('89) is one of the first sci-fi movies to feature the armed forces enlisting civilian aid on a mission. However, it is not the first to do so. Other movies before The Abyss ('89) such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind ('77) and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial ('82) have also depicted the military enlisting civilian help.
