From molten steel poured into 10-foot pits to single-crystal jet engine blades and nuclear submarines that cost more than a skyscraper — this is how the world's most powerful machines are built. Steam turbines, GE9X blades, uranium enrichment centrifuges, underwater ship motors, nuclear subs, and Tesla's 23,000 RPM electric motors — all in one film.
