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.
