Firestone Ranch in Los Angeles County, California, isn’t just any old ranch; it’s a hot spot for movie magic! Recently, it played a starring role in Jordan Peele’s horror-thriller, NOPE. This eerie flick featured everything from aliens to chimpanzees, all set against the backdrop of the sprawling ranch.

In the movie, Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya play siblings who stumble upon some spooky happenings in the sky above. Released in July 2022, NOPE scared up over $170 million worldwide, making it Peele’s third hit film. And when it crossed the $100 million mark, it cemented Peele’s status as a top-notch director in Hollywood.
