The Forgotten is a 2004 American science fiction psychological thriller written by Gerald Di Pego, and directed by Joseph Ruben.

Starring Julianne Moore, Dominic West, Gary Sinise, Alfre Woodard, Linus Roache, and Anthony Edwards.

The film's plot revolves around a woman who lost her nine-year-old son in a plane crash 14 months earlier, only to have her husband and psychiatrist explain she is suffering from unreliable fantasies after a miscarriage.

The Forgotten was produced by Revolution Studios for Columbia Pictures and was released in the United States and Canada on September 24, 2004.

She holds regular vigils in his undisturbed bedroom, visits his grave, and meets with a therapist to deal with her grief, though her husband, Jim, wants to move on.

Furious, she confronts Jim for trying to forget, but her husband shocks her with a counter accusation: That she is, in actuality, delusional and that they have never had a son.

Eventually, Telly visits Dr. Munce again and he reveals that the disappearances are the work of "them", and that the government monitors their trials, all too aware that they have no power to stop "them" from doing whatever they want.

Before the agent can comprehend what's happening, part of the hangar roof is suddenly blown off, and he is yanked into the sky himself for his failure to erase her memory.

When the film was aired on basic cable the accident was changed, with all mentions of "plane" and "airport" dubbed to "bus" and "terminal".

[8] Roger Ebert gave the film 2 stars out of 4 stating, "The Forgotten is not a good movie, but at least it supplies a credible victim.
