Summary:

Based on Erich von Daniken's book purporting to prove that throughout history aliens have visited earth. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has included ₁Chariots of the Gods₂ in their list of the Top 100 Documentary Films of All Time. ₁Fifty million stars in our galaxy have the potential of supporting life forms capable of traveling to other planets,₂ says world-renowned authority Erich von Daniken, whose film version of his best-selling book, CHARIOTS OF THE GODS, 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, on film, the physical evidence of visits by galactic travelers who came to Earth. Just what they did here and the influences they left behind is the core of the film.
