Story Plot

Area 51 is a 2022 American science fiction film written, co-produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan. It is based on the US Air Force base of the same name. The film stars Vin Diesel, Margot Robbie, Morgan Freeman, Leonardo DiCaprio, David Harbour, Lupita Nyong'o, Tom Hardy, and Milla Jovovich. It chronicles the story of Walter Orion (Diesel), a veteran officer who disobeys orders to kill his daughter, Zoë, when she enters Area 51. When UFOs appear, Walter and his wife, Diana, must protect Zoë and escape the base. Area 51 premiered at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on June 15th, 2022 and was released on July 6th; it received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its emotion, Nolan's direction, screenplay, visual effects, musical score, and Diesel, Robbie, Freeman, Harbour, and Jovovich's performances, though criticism was aimed at its complex story and its perceived lack of ambition. It also attained a strong cult following, grossing $79 million worldwide against its $1.19 million budget. After its release, Area 51 was later critically reevaluated and is now widely considered Nolan's magnum opus and one of the greatest science fiction films ever made, especially for its groundbreaking effects and for reassessing Diesel's acting. It was also selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by Library of Congress, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" in 2027.

    Diana threatens Miller that if he attacks Zoë again, she will not give him medical attention; he reluctantly spares Zoë. Walter and Diana discover Area 51's true purpose: capturing and securing Alien UFOs and keeping the findings a secret from the press. Arnold Carano attempts to kill them both due to knowing the truth, but Will Lewis shoots him and tells Walter and Diana that the press needs to know Area 51's true purpose.

    Zoe tends to the wounded, while UFOs appear and attack the base. Will's daughter, Tiffany, hides Zoë in her laboratory. Walter helps his younger brother, Mitch, fight the UFOs to buy Diana time to heal the wounded. The UFOs kill Mitch before Walter and Diana retreat to Tiffany's laboratory.

    Miller orders Walter to kill his family and escape with him to another base, but he pretends to follow the order, and instead leads a mutiny. Will sacrifices himself to save the group, before they evade the UFOs and enter Miller's facility for the captured Aliens. They pass numerous Aliens contained in water tanks, before they find the exit out of Area 51.

    Miller appears, but the group hides, before Walter attacks him and they both fight. Zoë, Diana and Tiffany wake the Aliens and release them, telling them that they can live among humanity if they so choose. Walter is impaled through his chest, and he almost dies, but he rams his knife through a water pump and slices through a cord, electrocuting Miller to death before escaping the base with the group.

    In the aftermath, Walter is taken by Zoë to the hospital she works in, and she performs surgery on him. He recovers, and decides to spend more time with her and Diana; they reveal the existence of the Aliens to the public before setting out to live in Phoenix, Arizona, before the end credits roll.
