Hangar 18 is an Indie short which explores the world of black ops and secret government missions. After spending time in the 'Hangar', Lt. Harry Gonzalez cannot distinguish what is normal life and what was part of his “black ops” mission. As time passes he becomes increasing disturbed and delusional and a new mission takes control of his violent psyche, kill anything he comes across.

 

Since Lt. Gonzalez was away for quite some time and his wife did not know whether he was still alive, she decided to abort their child and this comes to haunt him. As he goes totally over the edge he becomes a killing machine with a large knife.

 

The government decides he is an unnecessary risk and sends several agents to kill him and this brings the story full circle back to the Hangar where Harry learns of his terrible past. It seems Harry’s  “black op” mission was far more horrible than he can contemplate, his role was to impregnate female test subjects as a part of a 'super soldier program' and when the girls are no longer needed, he was to dispose of them. The problem is, the conditioning he has received is still running...

 

This is an intriguing short which not only offers a solid plot, combining conspiracy theory with current events, but offers some great action. The acting is reasonable for a low budget short and the cinematography creates a suspenseful mood. The acts of violence are believably depicted and all in all this is an impressive sci fi type short with some interesting political resonances.
