From building jet engines as a teenager to his work as a physicist at Los Alamos National Labs, Bob Lazar's life has always been rooted in the pursuit of science. In 1988, he was hired to work at a classified facility known as S4, a site hidden within the perimeter of Area 51. There, he and 22 other scientists were tasked with reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology. S4: The Bob Lazar Story is the definitive visual record of these events. Narrated by Lazar himself, the film brings his story to life through highly realistic and accurate recreations of exactly what he witnessed inside the S4 facility. Supported by never-before-seen tangible evidence, humanizing footage of Lazar's personal life, and exclusive interviews with Gene Huff, George Knapp, Mario Santa Cruz, and Joy Lazar, the film provides unprecedented access to one of America's most well-kept secrets.

Great flick See more R T. @RT50744740 6d I’ve been following the Bob Lazar story for decades, and this film is stunningly beautiful in the way it portrays his experience. The visuals around the UFOs, where they were kept, and how they may have looked are some of the most compelling I’ve seen. Whether you believe every detail or not, the film does an incredible job bringing one of the most fascinating UFO stories to life in a cinematic and believable way. See more The A @RT92156300 May 12 Anyone that still refuses to believe this story, will simply NEVER be convinced no matter how many facts are put before them. They dont WANT to and its as simply as that. Luigi did a fantastic job here, and bravo to him and his crew's resilience after going through what they did during the making of this film. Go watch AJ's interview with him, Why Files AJ of course. MUST WATCH See more Read all reviews
