With Trump promising to 'release the UFO files,' fans of all things alien will no doubt be curious to watch "S4: The Bob Lazar Story". The 1hr 54min doc takes a closer look at the mild-mannered scientist who dragged Area 51 out of the shadows in the 1990s – and claims to have been inside an alien spacecraft housed there.
Here's how to watch "S4: The Bob Lazar Story" on Amazon Video – and from anywhere with a VPN.
"S4: The Bob Lazar Story" is available to rent or buy now in the U.K. (April 2) and premiered a day later in the U.S. on April 3, 2026

Vilified and threatened by the authorities, Lazar – who featured alongside movie director Luigi Vendittelli on Joe Rogan on 3 April, 2026 – has remained a major figure in the so-called 'battle for full disclosure'.
In "The Bob Lazar Story" the United Nuclear boss attempts to set the record straight but goes much further. The doc 'delves into Lazar's experiences at S4 in 1988-89, where he worked on reverse-engineering alien technology,' powered by by a mysterious element known as '115'.
Vendittelli's film also features never-before-seen recreations of the secretive military facility and the infamous 'Sport Model' UFO, which he told Las Vegas journalist George Knapp about back in a May 1989 interview.
