Area 51, flying saucers from another world - and the program to create a fierce technology. Bob Lazar remains the singular most famous and controversial name in the world of UFOs. The reason you know about Area 51 is because Lazar came forward and told you about it. His disclosures have turned his life upside-down and he has tried to stay out of the spotlight. For this reason, he has never let any filmmaker into the private world of his daily life - that is - until now. Corbell’s film explores Lazar’s claims through the lens of thirty years - providing rare and never before revealed footage - guaranteed to alter the landscape of the debate.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lazar's original 1989 interview with George Knapp is what first put Area 51 on the public map; without him, the base might still be unknown.
The documentary became a touchstone for the 2019 'Storm Area 51' meme phenomenon, proving Lazar's cultural staying power decades later.
