“What would they do? Shoot everyone?” Yes, probably. Don’t mess with them. Netflix has unveiled a teaser trailer for the bonkers true story documentary Trainwreck: Storm Area 51, looking back at the infamous “Storm Area 51” viral craze. This is part of the Trainwreck doc series on Netflix – “delve into the spiraling disasters & epic fails that the world could not look away from.” (Also see Trainwreck: Balloon Boy.) A viral Facebook event posted in 2019 to storm Area 51 (located in Nevada) draws millions of signups, prompting military warnings. As memes spread about Naruto-running past bullets, UFO hunters galore, and internet personalities converge for what could be a desert party or clash. Some joke, “If we Naruto run we can move faster than their bullets” but will a crazy party in the desert turn into a deadly confrontation? Featuring an epic ensemble cast of meme lords, military commanders, UFO hunters, sexy aliens and YouTubers, this is the ultimate story of the internet bursting into the real world… All these stupid people. Did they find aliens?
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Jack Macinnes’ doc Trainwreck: Storm Area 51, from YouTube:
This is the story of the greatest sh*tpost ever made. When 20-year old Matty Roberts creates a Facebook event inviting people to storm the classified Air Force facility Area 51 in the Nevada desert, the post quickly goes viral, with hundreds and then thousands saying they’ll join the event that stated “They can’t stop all of us”. This prompts the US Air Force, FBI officials and the FAA to strongly advise against anyone illegally trying to access the base, and the Military warns that they stand ready to protect America and its assets with deadly force. The meme continues to go viral and spread to other social media apps and soon millions have signed up to attend… Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 is a documentary directed by doc filmmaker Jack Macinnes, director of the TV docs Goodbye to Canterbury, The Greatest Knight: William Marshal, The Mystery of Van Gogh’s Ear, Two Sisters One Body, and the doc series “Surviving Black Hawk Down” most recently. Ben Rumney as series producer. Made by RAW & BBH. Executive produced by Alex Marengo. Netflix will debut the Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 doc streaming worldwide on July 29th, 2025. Anyone?
