The Magic of Flight, which is narrated by Tom Selleck, is more than the story of machines.  The film is the story of human potential and the importance of training and performance.

In The Magic of Flight, we are inspired by a bird’s innate ease to take flight and we review efforts made to imitate this ability.  Aviation historian Tom Crouch, of the National Air and Space Museum, Washington D.C., lends his expertise and light-hearted humor as he recalls early flight attempts and the ultimate successful flight of the Wright Brothers in 1903.

The cutting edge of aerial photography is a familiar place for MacGillivray Freeman Films.  The production company produced the large format films To Fly!, Flyers, Speed and At Sea.  Director and Co-Producer Greg MacGillivray reveals, “Ever since we made To Fly!, I’ve wanted to do a science film about flight, depicting how airplanes fly and how pilots train to react under split-second tolerances."

Take to the skies in this enchanting film that captures dramatic landscapes, aerial stunts, and the pure freedom of unencumbered flight. Whether you are interested in participating in the sheer excitement of a Blue Angels air show, or learning about the evolution of flight, scientifically and historically, The Magic of Flight includes the entire experience. There is no better way to feel like you are right there in the air.

Opening Saturday January 2nd.
