National Geographic Documentary Narrated By Harrison Ford

On September 4 The Henry Ford IMAX Theatre will premiere "Living in the Age of Airplanes," an immersive new giant screen film experience from National Geographic Studios.

The film is already showing at IMAX theaters around the country and in Canada.

Narrated by actor and pilot Harrison Ford, it offers a fresh perspective on a modern-day miracle that many of us take for granted: flying. Using spectacular aerial and nature photography, "Living in the Age of Airplanes" takes audiences around the globe on an epic journey to 95 locations in 18 countries spanning all seven continents to remind us how, in a single century, aviation has changed our world forever.

Produced and directed by Brian J. Terwilliger (“One Six Right”), "Living in the Age of Airplanes" features an original score by Academy Award-winning composer and pilot James Horner (“Avatar,” “Titanic”) and cinematography by Andrew Waruszewski.

The film highlights the astonishingly rapid advancements that have led to a world in which 100,000 flights take off and land every day. During the vast majority of mankind’s existence, walking was the fastest means of travel. Yet today, just 175 years after the introduction of the steam engine, boarding a jet to travel thousands of miles in a matter of hours is more often viewed as an inconvenience than a world-changing technological marvel.

"Since we were all born into a world with airplanes, it's hard to imagine that jet travel itself is only 60 years old, just a tick on the timeline of human history," said producer/director Brian J. Terwilliger. "With this film, we want to reignite people's wonder for one of the most extraordinary aspects of the modern world."

After seeing the movie on Michigan’s largest screen, viewers can continue to be inspired by the world of aviation throughout The Henry Ford campus. Inside the Heroes of the Sky exhibit at Henry Ford Museum, guests can learn about more about early aviation or the can journey inside the very workshop where Orville and Wilbur Wright began their dreams of flight at Greenfield Village.
