Client-side. The scene plays on the client that starts it, so run it where the player is.

-- Plays the fam_3_mcs_1_b cutscene and waits for it to finish.
RequestCutscene("fam_3_mcs_1_b", 8)
while not HasCutsceneLoaded() do
    Wait(0)
end

-- Let the player's own ped stand in for the lead where the scene expects one.
if DoesCutsceneEntityExist("MICHAEL", 0) then

QUESTIONS

About fam_3_mcs_1_b

What is fam_3_mcs_1_b?

It is one of the 772 cutscene names GTA 5 ships. The leading token, fam, is the mission or strand it belongs to, which has 19 scenes in total. The name carries the mission segment convention.

How do I play fam_3_mcs_1_b in FiveM?

RequestCutscene("fam_3_mcs_1_b", 8), loop until HasCutsceneLoaded() returns true, then StartCutscene(0). Wait for IsCutsceneActive() to go false and call RemoveCutscene(). The block on this page does all four in order.

Nothing plays. What is wrong?

Almost always the wait: StartCutscene in the same frame as the request plays nothing, because the scene has not streamed in yet. After that, check that the scene has the entities it expects — a scene written around a story character plays to an empty set if nothing is registered for that slot.
