Fire Serpent (2007): Plot, Cast, Runtime and Viewing Options

Fire Serpent is a 2007 science-fiction monster television film directed by John Terlesky. Its story follows a fire-like alien serpent that reaches Earth after a solar flare and begins consuming fuel. The title can also refer to Xiuhcōātl in Aztec mythology; that is a separate subject, not the film’s source story.

What is Fire Serpent about?

A solar flare sends a fiery, serpentine alien to Earth. As it consumes fuel and threatens a small community, the creature reaches a military oil reserve. An older man’s “Halogen Gun” may offer a way to stop it, and local residents take up the technology. A government employee complicates the response by helping the creature, believing it to be the spirit of a god.

Availability depends on country and changes over time.

A DVD Talk review references the film’s DVD video, but that does not confirm current stock, a particular edition, region compatibility, or a current price. Check the case or seller listing for region and playback compatibility before buying.

Is the film related to Xiuhcōātl?

No connection is established. “Fire serpent” is also used as an English rendering for Xiuhcōātl, an Aztec mythological figure, but the film’s title and its alien-serpent plot do not by themselves show that the movie adapts or is historically connected to that figure.
