Machines that changed what people could do

History's Greatest Machines with Dolph Lundgren examines inventions through the new capabilities they created. The HISTORY series moves between military equipment, transport, oversized vehicles and technological breakthroughs. Lundgren presents themed chapters that compare machines built in different periods but designed around related demands such as speed, scale, secrecy or reach.

Aerial Attackers includes the B-17 bomber and F-35 fighter, while Mission Critical turns to equipment built for specialised operations. Monster Machines changes the scale with the Antonov An-225 cargo aircraft, the experimental Maus tank and the Bigfoot monster truck. The programmes connect famous machines with the particular tasks that drove their development.

Speed, depth and the expansion of technical limits

Breakthrough Boats ranges from Pacific canoes to submarines and James Cameron's Deepsea Challenger. World's Fastest compares the Thrust SSC car, Concorde and the Parker Solar Probe. The comparisons bring very different environments into the same question: how does a machine extend human movement or observation beyond a previous limit?

HISTORY's eight-episode list also includes Devices of Deception, Rocket Science and Change Agents. The final subjects broaden the series from spectacular hardware to machines that alter history through a new method of communication, production or strategic action.
