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.

Michael R @Michael922 10h The integration of CGI based on Bob Lazar’s accounts are phenomenal. The story is well told. And even though I have followed Lazar’s story and his claims over the years, this was the best overall-full-story account ever put together. Whether you believe Bob or not, this is a film well worth watching. See more John V @Bubbleback 1d The film’s superb execution provides an objective lens for a controversial narrative with profound historical implications. Its commercial triumph on Amazon stands in stark contrast to the mainstream media's palpable indifference toward both the film and its central thesis. See more Christian Z @ChristianZupp 1d Great new visualization of the Bob Lazar story! For fans and skeptics alike. See more Vitor C @RT04628892 1d The visuals are outstanding. You can tell they poured a lot into it. See more Zachary J @ZackJ805 1d Outstanding visuals and new insights on the Bob Lazar story. Absolutely loved it!
