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.

Eddie P @RT47784967 3h Wow… I’ve already watched it four times since it dropped. Luigi, Bob, and the whole team absolutely crushed it. See more Benjamin L @RT20001045 5h I’ve been following Bob’s story for several years and have listened to every interview he’s given on YouTube. I never thought I’d get to see what Bob saw at S4 with my own eyes — and boy, there are so many additional details I never even knew about. This was definitely worth the wait. Luigi Vendittelli and his team did absolutely incredible work. This documentary deserves everyone’s attention! See more R T @RT97017559 5h Im currently watching it again for the 4th time as i write this. It took so long to release, but after watching it i can see why. Absolute art! So much more to the story i never knew. I always fantasised what s4 would be like. Now i know, best documentry out there currently! Worth every penny! Well done project gravator! You made us proud! Love the Jre podcast too . See more Desiree R @DesRob 5h You will really enjoy this movie. Lots of very interesting facts and Bob Lazar speaks very clearly about all of the events that unfolded. I was blown away and wish there is a Part 2!!! See more R T @RT25226725 13h Luigi knocked it out of the park with this film. My Dad and I have followed Bob's story for decades and have always loved watching his interviews etc. But a few years back, I heard about this project being worked on, which ended up being this film. I had spoken to Luigi a few times and he was actually nice enough to send my Dad a care package with a bunch of cool stuff from/about the film. That aside though, the film itself is an incredible visual dive into Bob's story with excellent storytelling and CGI, really making you feel like you're actually at S4. I consider Luigi a friend now, and I truly think he may have made the best piece of UFO media of all time. Thank you for everything! 💚 👽 See more Andrew R @Lembas 16h This is a UFO documentary like no other! Director Luigi Vendittelli has accomplished something absolutely remarkable with this film. He has essentially recreated with astonishing detail and visual effects the entire Bob Lazar story. The film creates a fully immersive experience, taking you through the exact environment that Bob experienced himself. The recreation of S4, the craft, the lab, and everything in between was so well done that it actually felt like I was experiencing it the same way Bob did. The realness of some of these shots completely transports you into that very moment. The film also does an excellent job capturing Bob Lazar‘s personality and true human essence making him a whole lot more than just a whistleblower. It’s as if the film itself helped Bob also grow and come to peace with his past. Congratulations to Luigi and the whole production crew for taking on such an ambitious project and seeing it through completely at its highest potential. See more Read all reviews
