Area 51 2015

In a bizarre turn of events, two reporters and their photographic and filmographic accompaniments are cordially invited by the Air Force to Area 51, in a futile attempt to dispel the widespread rumors of clandestine alien research. However, this calculated ploy falls woefully short of its intended objective.

Through intimate interviews with friends, family members, and experts, we delve into the enigmatic disappearance of Reid (character A), Darren (character B), and Ben (character C), three close friends who share a passion for conspiracy theories. Notably, Reid’s sister and colleagues observe a profound shift in his behavior and lifestyle over the course of three months preceding his vanishing act. His fixation on UFOs, extraterrestrial encounters, and Area 51 ultimately leads to his job loss and estrangement from his loved ones.

The story takes an unexpected turn as we catch a glimpse of Reid, Darren, and Ben arriving at a house party, where they indulge in revelry. However, when Reid is challenged into performing karaoke, he suddenly disappears after a brief blackout, only to reappear later looking dazed but assuring his friends that everything is fine.

Fast-forward three months, and we find ourselves back with the trio as they prepare for a clandestine expedition to Area 51, intent on infiltrating the secretive base. They arrive equipped with an arsenal of gadgets, including a device capable of disrupting cellphone signals, night vision goggles, and pills designed to mask their ammonia levels in response to the base’s ammonia detectors.

Upon arriving in Las Vegas, the group encounters Reid’s friend Jelena (character D), another conspiracy theorist with a personal connection to Area 51. She reveals that her late father was an employee at the base, but his curiosity and inquiry led to his termination. Prior to his passing, he entrusted Jelena with his secret files regarding the base, which she had hidden away in a storage locker. As they review her father’s documents, Jelena discloses that Area 51 is, in reality, a subterranean facility situated a mile beneath the earth’s surface. She also shares her father’s fascination with the enigmatic “S4” sector.

Their investigation yields a photograph of an elderly gentleman, whose identity Jelena claims her father had been obsessively tracking.

As Reid and his cohorts ponder the significance of the elderly man’s presence at the mysterious base, they converge on McCarran International Airport’s JANET terminal, where whispers circulate about its tongue-in-cheek moniker, “Just Another Non Existent Terminal.” Amidst a sea of unmarked Boeing 737s, they track their quarry as he departs the terminal in his vehicle, leaving them agog. A short while later, they find themselves following him to his suburban residence, where they lay low until nightfall descends. As the elderly man sets off once more, Reid seizes the opportunity to slip into his home via the garage door, accompanied by Darren, while Ben keeps watch in the car.

Their reconnaissance efforts are momentarily derailed when Ben alerts them over radio that their target has returned, prompting Reid and Darren to take cover within the house as the elderly man and his family settle in for the night. When the household finally succumbs to slumber, Reid and Darren embark on a stealthy mission to procure the elderly man’s ID badge and a vial of his signature cologne, crucial components for their planned biometric scan. They narrowly escape detection just as the house lights flicker back to life.

Reid, Darren, and Ben then make their way to Rachel, Nevada, where they conduct a series of interviews with locals who consistently emphasize that the base is indeed home to extraterrestrial beings - terrifying specimens that should remain securely contained. As they drive along the perimeter of the base, they encounter a local guide who enlightens them about the motion sensors surrounding the compound. He and Reid concur that if they were to infiltrate the base, they would first need to locate and jam the sensor’s signal before it changes frequency. Their stroll around the periphery reveals an array of cameras and camouflaged security personnel watching their every move. Just as they’re taking in the base’s defenses, a seemingly innocuous tourist appears on the scene - only to abruptly depart after asking them about their activities.

As the night wears on, Reid, Darren, and Ben converge with Jelena at their motel room, where she proposes an audacious plan: joining forces to infiltrate Area 51. Despite initial reservations from Darren, the group agrees to embark on this perilous adventure. Reid takes Jelena under his wing, administering pills to mask her ammonia levels while testing a jumpsuit infused with freon to disguise her body temperature. Meanwhile, Ben’s keen eye spots someone lurking outside, but when they answer the door, they’re met with an empty void. As tensions rise, Ben refuses to drive them, demanding Reid to explain his motivations for putting them in harm’s way. Reid reveals a personal stake, sharing tales of inexplicable events involving missing time and an unshakeable feeling that “something is drawing me towards the base.” Convinced he must take action, Reid persuades Ben to ferry them to the desert, where they lay out their plan: Ben will remain behind while Reid, Darren, and Jelena sneak onto the base, gather evidence of extraterrestrial life, and make a swift exit.

Under the cover of darkness, the trio dons gas masks, Freon-laced jumpsuits, and small camcorders as they venture into the desert. En route, they encounter another motion sensor, which Reid deftly disarms before it changes frequency. They narrowly avoid detection by a helicopter conducting a sweep of the area. After navigating treacherous terrain, they finally reach the base’s perimeter fence, leaping over it and sprinting onto the tarmac. Hiding in a hangar from armed soldiers, they await their chance to strike.

With stolen ID badges and fingerprints at their disposal, Reid, Darren, and Jelena gain entry to the base’s underground complexes via a staircase that descends into the depths of the facility. They carefully maneuver through labyrinthine corridors, offices, and staircases, avoiding detection by office workers and troops as they make their way deeper into the complex. Seeking refuge in a locker room, they stumble upon a partially melted bulletproof vest and a walkie-talkie, which crackles to life with a terrifying shriek. They depart once more, driven by a sense of urgency.

Their destination: the S2 Complex. There, they find a mysterious green, bubbling liquid encased in large tubes, as well as massive holding cells and a laboratory. A soldier enters an armed vault, prompting Reid, Darren, and Jelena to spring into action. Using their thermal camera, they deduce the password – the warmest numbers pressed – and gain access to the vault’s inner sanctum. As they venture deeper, they uncover secrets that threaten to upend their understanding of reality itself.

As they venture deeper into the labyrinthine laboratory, Darren and Jelena (Jelena) stumble upon a trove of enigmatic devices, including anti-gravity contraptions and containers brimming with white blood. The moment they make contact with the container’s exterior, the viscous liquid begins to froth and churn, as if attaining a sentient quality. The blood’s erratic behavior sparks chaos in the lab, causing instruments and beakers to shatter and the anti-gravity device to burst free from its confines.

In the ensuing panic, Reid and Jelena flee the laboratory while Darren pilfers a vial of the turbulent white blood. As they descend further into the subterranean base, they navigate through various industrial sectors, their footsteps echoing off the cold metal walls. Their journey eventually leads them to a large hangar housing a mysterious, black-colored saucer-shaped craft. Upon closer inspection, Reid’s probing touch triggers the craft’s seemingly sentient surface to open, revealing a cavity within.

Meanwhile, Jelena’s attempts to replicate Reid’s actions are met with indifference by the craft. Undeterred, Reid ascends a staircase overlooking the saucer, where he notices a square-shaped aperture in its uppermost section. With an air of curiosity, he leaps into the void, only for the hole to vanish as if it never existed. Inside the craft, Reid discovers a collection of oval-shaped pods and a sleek, elongated seat, his gaze drawn to the transparent interior that allows him to observe Darren and Jelena outside, yet remains invisible to them.

As they continue their exploration, the trio finally reaches S4, entering another hangar that appears deceptively similar to those preceding it. However, at its farthest end lies a tall, wired fence and gate, which Reid effortlessly opens using an ID badge and fingerprint. The gate’s sudden closure before they can enter prompts Jelena to speculate on the possibility of a security protocol being triggered.

In their haste to re-open the gate, the trio inadvertently triggers a security breach, prompting alarms and sirens to erupt throughout the base. As chaos ensues, Reid and Jelena make a break for it, leaving Darren behind as he flees from the armed troops that have materialized. On the opposite side of the gate, they find themselves face-to-face with a massive metal door, which slowly creaks open to reveal a compound teeming with grey alien beings clad in rubbery, spacesuit-like attire. Jelena’s panic is palpable, yet Reid’s calm demeanor belies his fascination with these extraterrestrial entities.

As Jelena (actress name) and Reid (actor name) venture deeper into the labyrinthine compound, they stumble upon another imposing metal barrier, which promptly seals shut behind them. The secondary door swings open, revealing a vast network of caves that seem to stretch on forever. With trepidation, they make their way through the main tunnel, descending further into the depths of the earth. As they navigate this subterranean world, they come across a series of small rooms, each filled with its own peculiar treasures: one overflowing with clothes, another cluttered with random trinkets and gadgets (glasses, etc.), and yet another bursting with toys and cuddly stuffed animals. Jelena’s eyes light up as she picks up a doll that holds a nostalgic significance for her - it’s the same doll she had as a child.

Reid’s curiosity gets the better of him as he cautiously enters another room, whereupon he discovers an astonishing array of oval-shaped white pods. His initial excitement quickly turns to apprehension as he realizes that this could be evidence of an entire extraterrestrial colony lurking beneath their feet. Jelena intervenes, drawing attention to one pod that’s already been opened, and insists they leave the area before it’s too late. But fate has other plans. A grey alien suddenly emerges from the open pod, sending Reid and Jelena scrambling for cover as they desperately try to put as much distance between themselves and the extraterrestrial visitor.

They manage to make a hasty retreat back to the compound, slamming shut the metal door just in time to prevent the alien from reaching them. As they catch their breath, they find themselves in an entirely new section of the complex. With no other options available, they utilize a large pipe as a makeshift exit route. Meanwhile, Darren (actor name) is hiding in one of the base’s many hallways as the alarm system continues to wail and sirens pierce the air. He watches in horror as troops scramble to evacuate the area, his eyes fixed on an alien’s shadow creeping into view down a nearby corridor.

Before he can react, a soldier spots him and gives chase, leading Darren into a lounge area where the chaos has already begun. Despite his best efforts to warn the soldier about the impending threat, it’s too late - the alien attacks, leaving Darren no choice but to flee for his life. He darts into the adjacent cafeteria, seeking refuge beneath a table as the destruction unfolds above him. The alien’s keen senses soon pinpoint Darren’s hiding spot, and he’s forced to make another break for safety, this time utilizing a small elevator hidden in a back room to escape the carnage.

As Reid (actor name) and Jelena navigate through the labyrinthine pipe, they’re met with an eerie silence punctuated by strange noises and unsettling sights. Their descent into the unknown is further complicated when they stumble upon an alien lurking below, its presence as unnerving as it is inexplicable. In a flash of misfortune, both Reid and Jelena tumble down a shaft, finding themselves in a vast, stark-white chamber that seems to stretch on forever.

As they frantically search for a way out, their path is littered with cryptic symbols and unidentifiable flesh-like matter. The air is thick with tension as Jelena narrowly avoids an alien attack, prompting Reid to drag her away from the impending danger. In a heart-stopping moment of desperation, Jelena disappears into thin air, leaving Reid frantic and lost in the seemingly endless corridors.

In his panic-stricken state, Reid stumbles upon another white room, only to find Jelena entranced and floating freely amidst the weightless environment. His camcorder, now an extension of himself, becomes a lifeline as he watches it drift away through a small shaft, revealing the astonishing truth: they’re on board a massive, disc-shaped craft soaring into the sky.

Meanwhile, Darren has managed to slip out of Area 51 undetected, seamlessly blending in with the base’s personnel. As they’re loaded onto trucks, he makes his move, leaping the fence and sprinting back to the car where Ben awaits. Alarmed by Reid and Jelena’s disappearance, Ben orders them to leave immediately, citing the ominous warning that “they’re after him.” However, their escape is short-lived, as the car suddenly loses power.

Ben’s calm demeanor belies his concern as Darren complains about their predicament. But before they can react further, Ben spots something above, prompting a hasty departure from the vehicle. As Darren follows suit, he’s yanked upwards by an unseen force, leaving Ben to futilely cling to the seat. Both men are subsequently drawn into the same mysterious craft that now holds Reid, Jelena, and possibly even more surprises.

The screen fades to black as the audience is left to ponder the implications of this otherworldly encounter.

In a chilling post-credits scene, an old man stumbles upon Reid’s abandoned camcorder, a grim reminder of the extraordinary events that have transpired.
