The movie opens with the military begrudgingly giving a tour of the super-secret military base known as Area 51. The military wants to put on a show of looking like they’re letting the press see things they’re not supposed to, to satisfy their curiosity. Yet the press is on to the trick and is looking for more than the truth they’re shown. We’re then introduced to some of the military personnel in their different roles and then to one of the aliens that they have in a subterranean level. As bad luck and bad timing would have it, while the press tour is going on, the aliens choose to break out. At first I didn’t realize there was more than one, but it would seem that there were three different aliens making a break for it and during their standard running for their lives mode, they encounter a fourth, smart and friendly alien.
