The National World War II Museum’s new 250-seat Solomon Victory Theater will be unlike any other venue, showcasing an experience unlike anything else on the planet.

The theater’s 120-feet wide immersive screen will show Beyond All Boundaries, a 4-D cinematic experience, hourly from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Created and crafted with 21st-century technology, it plunges viewers into the 20th-century’s most titanic struggle. It tells the tale of the Greatest Generation’s journey from Pearl Harbor into the fire of epic battles to America’s final victory in the War That Changed the World in the words of the veterans themselves. The exclusive production features the voices of some of Hollywood’s top stars.

True to history it is, but to appeal to the broadest possible audience – from the Greatest Generation to Gen Y – the Museum brought in Hollywood technicians to create a jaw-dropping experience in 4-D, a technique that engages all the audience’s senses with digital effects, life-sized props, animation, and atmospherics as well as film and sound. Audiences will feel the tank treads rumbling across North Africa’s deserts, brush snow from their cheeks during the wintery Battle of the Bulge, and flinch as anti-aircraft fire tries to bring down their B-17 on a bombing run over Nazi Germany.
