When the mission looks impossible, you call in special ops - and Dolph Lundgren. Join him as he takes you behind enemy lines to reveal the elite machines behind history's boldest operations.

3. Monster Machines
If size counts, these machines rewrite all the rules. Dolph Lundgren gets up close inside legendary giants: the Antonov An-225 cargo jet - history's largest aircraft; the 200-ton WWII Maus tank designed by Porsche for Hitler - the largest ever made.

4. Devices of Deception
Forget Hollywood - real-life spy gear is far more fascinating. Dolph Lundgren pulls the curtain back on the shadowy devices that won secret wars: the CIA's pigeon-mounted spy cameras, bone-conduction radios hidden inside tobacco pipes, the deadly silent heart attack gun, and the secret Enigma code that changed WWII. It's espionage, engineering, and secrecy at its best.

5. Breakthrough Boats
How do you master a planet covered by 70% water? Build history-changing machines to conquer it. Dolph Lundgren dives into the stealthy German U-boats that nearly won WWII, the ancient canoes that crossed the Pacific, James Cameron's groundbreaking Deepsea Challenger, and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that faced down nuclear war. Welcome to Water World.

6. World's Fastest
Speed is more than a number - it's human ambition in high octane. Dolph Lundgren hits overdrive with the record-breakers: the Thrust SSC jet car blasting past Mach 1, Concorde's legendary supersonic jet that halved travel times, and NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest man-made object in history. Fasten your seatbelt for an adrenaline-pumping journey through machines built by speed-obsessed visionaries.

7. Rocket Science
Sometimes it really is rocket science - with a twist. Blast through history with Dolph Lundgren as he reveals the remarkable rockets that transformed warfare, exploration, and human potential, from the ancient Korean Hwacha artillery that changed battlefields forever, to the Saturn V moon rocket that captured humanity's imagination, to Martin-Baker's rocket-powered ejection seat that saved over 7,000 lives. Fasten your seatbelts for a blast of history like you've never seen.

8. Change Agents
With Dolph Lundgren leading the charge, witness the printing press that toppled kings, the Apple II computer dreamed up in a garage, to the iconic Model T that put the world on wheels.
