Just in case you do not know what is “Fiction” here is a short definition.

Fiction extensively refers to any story that comes from the imagination. The story that is not based accurately on real-life events, history or fact.

In cinema, it is an opposition to documentary film. It is a genre that uses fictional sometimes the science-based definition of phenomena, events, and facts that are not actually accepted by mainstream science.

For instance: extraterrestrial lifeforms, events, alien worlds, extrasensory perception and time travel.
