Sci-fi fans have an exciting week ahead as the Norwegian film, Blasted is set to premiere on Netflix on June 28, 2022. A real-life UFO inspires the film in a village named Hessdalen in Norway. It centers around the reunion of a group of friends who indulge in a game of laser tag.

The film is the latest addition to Netflix's growing library of foreign-language content. The official synopsis of the movie on Netflix reads:

When an alien invasion interrupts a bachelor party, two childhood friends reunite as the kick-a** laser tag duo they once were to fight back.''

''Bros before UFOs...This sci-fi comedy is inspired by the Norwegian UFO phenomenon. Former childhood friends and local laser tag duo - Sebastian and Mikkel - reconnect later in life for the ultimate bachelor party that gets invaded by aliens.
