Taken is an American SCI-FI miniseries, nowadays also known as limited series, about alien abductions. Taken has been created by Leslie Bohem who also was the showrunner and executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Leslie Bohem.

The Sci-fi Channel, currently is named Syfy, aired the miniseries from December 2nd, 2002 until December 13th, 2002.

The show takes place from 1944 to 2002 and follows the lives of three families: the Crawfords, who seek to cover up the Roswell crash and the existence of aliens; the Keys, who are subject to frequent experimentation by the aliens; and the Clarkes, who sheltered one of the surviving aliens from the crash. As a result of the decades-long storyline, not a single actor or character appears in every episode of the series, though the voice of Dakota Fanning (who narrates as well as stars as Allie Keys) is in every episode. 

The miniseries consists of 10 episodes with a running time of approximately 90 minutes! Perhaps this is not the only miniseries with so many hours of television, but I am not aware of another miniseries with so many minutes. It is almost just as many minutes as a regular TV series with a standard full season order of 22 episodes.

In October 2003 it first was released on DVD by DreamWorks Home Entertainment. Unfortunately it never got a Blu-ray release.
