Area 51 is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia article of 1 production — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on. 1 video game is also set here.
“The "Dreamland" two-part episode was also set in Nevada, this time in Area 51.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Area 51 as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Named here by Area 51’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Area 51, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

“Paul, a 2011 film depicting an alien named Paul who was held prisoner in Area 51.” Wikipedia
Set here
Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
