Grand Theft Auto Online offers a wide variety of side activities and collectibles that allow players to explore the vast world of Los Santos while earning unique rewards. Among the most interesting huntable items are Solomon Richards' stolen movie props, which are scattered all across the map. Tracking down every single prop requires patience, sharp eyes, and a good understanding of where these items tend to appear.
Starting the Movie Prop Side Quest
To begin searching for movie props in GTA 5 Online, players must first visit Solomon Richards at his office in Richards Majestic Studio. After meeting Solomon, he will request your help in recovering ten stolen film artifacts that belong to his studio collection. Once the introductory cutscene finishes, Solomon will send an email confirming that the hunt is official, allowing the props to spawn in the game world.
Seven of the ten movie props are fixed in specific places across Los Santos and Blaine County, meaning they will always appear at the exact same coordinates. The remaining three items spawn randomly inside vehicles located in various rotating regions. Knowing how to distinguish between fixed collectibles and random vehicle spawns makes completing the entire collection much easier for players.
Fixed Movie Prop Locations Across Los Santos
The fixed props are simple to acquire because they remain stationary until collected by the player. One prop, the Meltdown Film Reel, can be found right outside Solomon's office building near a trash bin. Another iconic item, the Alien Head, rests quietly on top of the prominent UFO structure in the Sandy Shores area.
Players can also head to the Diamond Casino and Resort to grab the Mummy Head prop inside the restrooms near the main floor. Additional fixed items include a Monster Head located on the West Vinewood roof and a Clapperboard sitting on a desk inside the Fort Zancudo control tower. Checking off these stationary items early in your search provides quick progress toward completing the full list.
Tracking Down Random Vehicle Prop Spawns
The final three movie props are significantly more challenging to locate because they spawn inside specific vehicles that appear randomly. These include a Pony van parked near the Epsilon Center, a Rumpo van around Simmet Alley, and a Rebel truck near Procopio Truck Stop. When one of these vehicles spawns nearby, a small blue random event dot will flash on your radar to signal its location.
If you arrive at a designated spawn area and do not see the blue dot, simply leave the zone and return later or switch to a new session. It often takes multiple attempts before the game generates the exact vehicle event required to claim the prop. Patience is key when hunting these moving targets across the map.
Rewards for Returning All Movie Props
After finding and returning all ten movie props to Solomon Richards, players receive significant monetary bonuses along with bonus RP for their efforts. Each prop returned rewards cash, making the entire quest a profitable venture for collectors. Beyond the financial payouts, completing the quest unlocks a special cosmetic reward stored directly inside Solomon's office.
Players who successfully complete the hunt will receive the Space Interloper Outfit, a unique alien-themed costume that can be worn in freemode. Collecting all the items also contributes to overall game progression and achievements. The combination of fun exploration and exclusive cosmetic rewards makes this quest well worth the effort for any GTA Online enthusiast.
