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.

Xan H @XanderH 5h Finally! High production value VFX to visualise what Bob actually saw that we have all been waiting decades for. I had been following the update trailers for the last year and could not wait for the movie to arrive. There are a few new things Bob saw that I was not aware of before despite being into the topic for years and years soaking up as much as possible. I have already watched the movie twice! Fantastic work, I understand it took three years to perfect and I am also going to sign up to watch all the extra content when I have some more free cash. A very rare 100% from me. See more Tori R. @toriRN 1d It was a repeat of things known imo. It was ok but I had to pay for the rental as well. See more poppachubby C @RT76014183 2d During a time of seemingly endless podcasts and shows, S4 arrives to smash the scene!!! An incredible companion to the Lazar story, which will undoubtedly be added to his legacy as a whole. The visuals were absolutely STUNNING. For me, seeing the 9 hangars and the sports model, was worth the price of admission. Also the work space and propulsion components... wow. Watching this movie is a no brainer, for those new to the story or otherwise. See more mtginvasion T @RT62074470 2d 2 words: mind blowing. The biggest value of the movie is the use of detaied AI to render the facilities and even the craft to be 100% of how Lazar saw them. This took a lot of time and the results are mind blowing. So if you didn't see an UFO now you did. The most mind blowing part was seeing the 2 other craft that Lazar briefly described in old interviews now in 3d realistic quality. Once you see the "jello mode" UFO it hits you that no human could design this. The movie price is a small one compared to the relevations it gives to humans. See more Chris B. @ctotheg 2d After watching Bobs 2nd Rogan podcast and seeing his emotion towards how real this movie was and was exactly like him being right back there again i knew I had to see this movie asap. Did NOT disappoint. They’re here! 👽🛸 See more Mikey M @RT78444399 2d 100% worth watching it asap so you are caught up with what is going on in the news! I have always been interested in the Bob Lazar and S4 Story. You can tell a lot of love went into this movie and we need to support films like this! See more Read all reviews
