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.

See more Sam S @MisterSamShearon 14h An essential watch for both believers of Bob Lazar's story... and indeed the skeptics. You won't want to miss this! This expertly crafted documentary had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! Beautiful eye candy with incredible digital recreations of the S4 lab at area 51 and of course, the "Sport Model" UFO. Love and passion went into this and you can certainly tell. Bravo to the whole team! See more Dewey T @RT39853114 14h Solid way to tell Bob's Story... with visuals to what Bob's been describing all these years. Nice to really get some insight on what these flying crafts are like. See more Maximo V @RT98301458 18h I finally got the chance to watch S-4, and man, it's was great. Not just for the incredible reconstruction work made that gave me the chills also this was the first time Bob's story felt natural so honest and for me make completely sense. See more jarid G @RT76374481 20h An amazing look at one of the most captivating stories is the last four decades. Believe him or not, the story of Bob Lazar is one of the most remarkable stories ever told. The visuals bring a new perspective into the story that have never been explored before. Honestly one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. See more Chris C @RT34224427 20h THEY'RE HERE!! Personally, I thought I already knew his whole story, but this film hit me with several things I had never heard before from his earlier interviews. That alone made it worth watching for me. The visuals were a tremendous help. Instead of just listening to him talk, you actually get to see what he is describing through recreations and footage. It makes everything easier to picture and keeps it from feeling slow or boring. I also liked that the film does not try too hard to convince you one way or the other. It just lays everything out and lets you decide. That is what makes it interesting, because you find yourself thinking about it even after it is over. At the end of the day, it is more than just one guy’s story. It taps into that bigger question about what is really out there and what we might not be told. Whether you believe it or not, it sticks with you, and that is what makes it a good watch. Maybe...just maybe you'll end up be a believer to. See more Read all reviews
