.:Trama:.
Fox William Mulder è un singolare agente dell'FBI: lavora in un settore chiamato appunto X-Files, un archivio dove vengono catalogati e raccolti tutti i casi ritenuti inspiegabili. Mulder deriva la sua ossessione dal traumatico rapimento della sorella, avvenuto (a suo dire) a causa degli alieni, quando l'agente aveva l'età di 12 anni. Il poster appeso nell'oscuro ufficio di Mulder, divenuto uno dei simboli della serie, riporta la memorabile scritta "I Want to believe" - Io Voglio Credere.
Mulder cerca infatti di dare spiegazioni e raggiungere la verità prestando fede a prove e testimonianze ritenute "impossibili" o prive di credito da parte dei suoi colleghi e della comunità accademica. All'inizio della serie gli viene affiancato un partner dai suoi superiori, Dana Katherine Scully, medico e scienziata che utilizzando le sue competenze scientifiche avrebbe il compito di screditare le bizzarre tesi di Mulder. In realtà con il passare del tempo anche lei si troverà di fronte a fatti in grado di scuotere le sue certezze e la sua fede nella "scienza ufficiale".
Le indagini dei due protagonisti, Mulder e Scully, riguardano molti temi classici di fantascienza, horror e parapsicologia (creature leggendarie, percezioni extrasensoriali, intelligenza artificiale, viaggi nel tempo, leggende metropolitane ecc.) ma seguono contemporaneamente l'evoluzione di un grande complotto riguardante gli alieni.
Molte delle trame degli episodi di X-Files prendono spunto da fenomeni o testimonianze realmente presi in esame da alcuni enti governativi degli Stati Uniti, come ad esempio quelli riguardanti casi di mutilazione del bestiame, di autocombustione umana, fantasmi, attraverso l'ottica della sottocultura dietrologica americana che vede facilmente in questi fenomeni l'ombra di complotti militari, governi ombra ed extraterrestri.
======
The X-Files follows the careers and personal lives of FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). Mulder is a talented profiler and strong believer in the supernatural. He is also adamant about the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life and its presence on Earth. This set of beliefs earns him the nickname "Spooky" and an assignment to a little-known department that deals with unsolved cases, known as the X-Files. His belief in the paranormal springs from the claimed abduction of his sister Samantha Mulder by extraterrestrials when Mulder was 12. Her abduction drives Mulder throughout most of the series. Because of this, as well as more nebulous desires for vindication and the revelation of truths kept hidden by human authorities, Mulder struggles to maintain objectivity in his investigations. Agent Scully is a foil for Mulder in this regard. As a medical doctor and natural skeptic, Scully approaches cases with complete detachment even when Mulder, despite his considerable training, loses his objectivity.[6] Her initial task is to debunk Mulder's theories, supplying logical, scientific explanations for the cases' apparently unexplainable phenomena. Although she is frequently able to offer scientific alternatives to Mulder's deductions, she is rarely able to refute them completely. Over the course of the series, she becomes increasingly dissatisfied with her own ability to approach the cases scientifically.
Various episodes also deal with the relationship between Mulder and Scully, originally platonic, but that later develops romantically. Mulder and Scully are joined by John Doggett (Robert Patrick) and Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) late in the series, after Mulder is abducted. Doggett replaces him as Scully's partner and helps her search for him, later involving Reyes, of whom Doggett had professional knowledge. The X-Files ends when Mulder is secretly subjected to a military tribunal for breaking into a top-secret military facility and viewing plans for alien invasion and colonization of Earth. He is found guilty, but he escapes punishment with the help of the other agents and he and Scully become fugitives.
