Watch Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny

Imagine a world where you could be compelled to do anything, and everything, your government orders. That's not just a post-apocalyptic worst-case scenario, but at one in point in time, the reality of state-run programs designed to warp and control minds, both in the lab and on the battlefield. From the CIA's decades-long pursuit of the perfect truth serum to the U.S. Army's secret PsyOps in Vietnam, mind games have long been at play among countries, its enemies, and even its own citizens--every one a more alarming deception than the next.

While wars may be won by men, they're fought with weapons--and every country wanted to leave nothing to chance. Teetering between the apocalyptic and absurd, declassified records will unveil the top secret weapons programs that attempted to bring down the world, uncovering the Soviet atomic test that shook the Earth with a force 1,500 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, the CIA's creation of a gun that fired a shellfish-harvested toxin, and the Allies' bizarre secret plan to end World War II by feminizing Hitler.

When is Mission: Impossible more than just a movie? From the gaspingly record-shattering depths submarine divers have plunged to tap a secret Soviet communication line to the Special Ops team of suicidal soldiers sent to hand-deploy A-bombs in enemy territory, newly uncensored evidence will reveal the lengths that the few and the elite have gone to within the most hostile lands, all in the name of completing the mission.

What lies beneath? David Duchovny takes us into the top-secret government bases and the clandestine operations they were built to conceal. Discover a deadly poison lab operated by the Soviet Union's infamous "Doctor Death," a vast nuclear missile site buried beneath the Greenland ice sheet, and the U.S. government's doomsday bunker concealed inside a hollowed-out mountain.

Forget the moon or the stars – every government has even bigger designs in the race to dominate the furthest corners of the sky. Uncover a plane crash in North Carolina that almost triggered nuclear Armageddon, the story of a UFO attack on a U.S. missile base that was suppressed for decades, and a daring Israeli heist to steal a cutting-edge fighter jet – right from under their enemies' noses.
