"Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder what makes the universe exist. Be curious.
To understand how intelligent life might evolve into something we wouldn't want. We only need to look at ourselves. Encountering aliens could resemble Christopher Columbus meeting Native Americans."
 

— Stephen Hawking

 

"Groom Lake," conceived by Stephen Shields as a limited series, follows Bob Lazar, a physicist and government contractor, as he navigates the secretive domains of Area 51, the S4 lab, and the expansive Nellis AFB in the 1980s Nevada desert. This covert setting echoes the mysterious legends of Roswell, SETI, New Mexico, and the alleged decades-long government cover-up conspiracy surrounding the recovery and study of extraterrestrial spacecraft and the existence of alien life.

 

 

The amazing tale of Bob Lazar isn't new. It's been told, shared, and documented for believing – or disbelieving– audiences for more than 30 years. There is nothing new here. But is that all there is to Bob Lazar's story? In all the narratives, films, and discussions, has anyone truly probed into Lazar's psyche, his motivations, and the blurred boundaries between perception and ? reality? No one has dared to ask the simple but pivotal question: "Why?"

​

Why seek the world's attention when Lazar's goal has always been to reach for the stars and understand the complex workings of the universe as a quiet and unassuming physicist?
