Colossal Machines

PLAY


Unveiling colossal machines, this documentary explores the inner workings of the International Space Station and the mighty Bagger 293, revealing their engineering marvels and transformative impact.

Massive machines require engineering extremes. Each episode explores four incredible machines. From sea and space faring designs to gigantic, ground-crushing monsters, we pull back the cover and unravel the mystery of their development and show how they actually work by breaking down their inner mechanics and materials that make it all possible.

Dynamic archival footage, slow motion, aerials, and time-lapses get us past the ‘caution’ tape and up close and personal with these compound monsters. CGI provides breakouts and blueprints and a look at hidden mechanisms. The expertise of structural, mechanical, chemical and forensic engineers helps reveal what’s at stake when these colossal constructions are put to work, and how all the pieces come together to make a big impact.
