Area 51 Plot Synopsis:
Obsessed with breaking into the U.S. Air Force highly classified facility known only as Area 51, three young friends and zealous conspiracy theorists--Reid, Darrin and Ben--travel to Las Vegas. Equipped with state-of-the-art gear, they team up with Jelena, the daughter of the secret installation's former employee, and summon up the courage to sneak into the facility, intent on unearthing its otherworldly mysteries. There, in the bowels of the heavily guarded compound, terrifying truths and unfathomable knowledge await, and only the audacious UFO investigators' raw footage can prove their existence. However, can they make it back in one piece to share it with the world?
Area 51 (2015) comes from director Oren Peli who is best known for directing Chernobyl Diaries (2012), Paranormal Activity (2007), Paranormal Activity 2 (2010), and Paranormal Activity 3 (2011). In his latest film, he brings us to one of the biggest conspiracy theories of the century, Area 51. In theory, this movie sounded like an instant hit but delivered a below average movie experience. Area 51 is currently available on VOD and currently in Netflix Instant streaming. Reid Warner, Darrin Bragg, and Ben Rovner star in Area 51.
