Living in the Age of Airplanes
Now Showing!
NEW! Experience A Visual Journey About How Far We've Come And How Fast We Got Here!

The airplane has changed our world, but do we really understand exactly how much? Living in the Age of Airplanes reminds us how profoundly this amazing invention has changed the way we do just about everything. It also renews our appreciation for the airplane and stunningly conveys the wonder and grandeur of flying.

Not that long ago, traveling between continents was a migration. Now, on any given day, 100,000 flights transport people and products between any two points on Earth in a matter of hours. Indeed, the airplane may be the closest thing we have to a time machine!

Filmed in 18 countries across all 7 continents, Living in the Age of Airplanes explores the countless ways the airplane affects our lives (even when we don’t fly). With a fascinating take on history, breathtaking visuals, soaring music and a truly unique perspective, Living in the Age of Airplanes shows the airplane in a fresh new light as it takes audiences on a wondrous trip around the globe.

From National Geographic Films, Living in the Age of Airplanes is narrated by actor Harrison Ford, and features an original score by Academy Award® winning composer James Horner. The film will play on Michigan’s largest screen at The Henry Ford IMAX Theatre from September 4, 2015 through January 3, 2016.
