Victorville is surprisingly used as a backdrop or filming location for various movies and TV series.

The unique desolate landscape of the desert is an attractive setting for Hollywood directors. But you know, many people live without knowing this fact.

The most famous connection is the Route 66 culture. Countless American road movies are set along Route 66, and one of its segments passes through Victorville.

Films and documentaries set in the 1940s and 50s Route 66 era often feature this area. Historic places like Emma Jean's Holland Burger Café have even received filming requests.

Additionally, George Air Force Base was a military base in Victorville, which has now been converted to Southern California Logistics Airport, but the facilities were used in various works set against the backdrop of military installations. It was common to use actual military facilities for productions of military dramas set during the Cold War.

There are also many works that use the entire Mojave Desert as a backdrop. The desolate desert roads, low shrubs, and unique Mojave terrain are frequently used in dystopian sci-fi films, westerns, and thrillers. The nearby highway (I-15) often appears in scenes of movies set in Las Vegas.

The government doesn't inform you about these things. You learn them as you live. It's also interesting that production companies frequently obtain filming permits for this area through the San Bernardino County Film Office.

Honestly, Victorville isn't famous as a movie hotspot. However, due to its geographical characteristic of being in the Mojave Desert, it consistently absorbs Hollywood's demand for desert filming. If you're curious about the list of works filmed in this area, you can check the San Bernardino County Film Office website.

In conclusion, this seemingly ordinary neighborhood has surprisingly had quite a bit of experience in front of the camera.
