The camera pans over a stylized map of the world in the early 1940s, the eve of World War 2. We see animated troop movements and naval maneuvers over the Atlantic and Pacific, as the major powers make their opening moves.
We get glimpses into the war rooms and cabinets of Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler and Tojo. Passionate arguments are made about how to gain the upper hand in the early stages of the spreading conflict. Egos and ideologies clash, but there is uncertainty too - no one knows how this global struggle will ultimately play out.
Cut to boots-on-the-ground perspectives from soldiers and civilians in Europe, Asia, the Soviet Union and the Americas. We follow characters from these key countries, showing how the grand strategies of generals and leaders play out in human terms. Some choose to resist, others seek to profit, most are simply caught up in the upheaval against their will.
As alliances form, the action intensifies. Epic tank battles rage across the Russian steppe, u-boats stalk merchant convoys in the Atlantic, and carrier fleets launch aircraft across the Pacific. The fate of nations hangs in the balance with each campaign. Technological and tactical innovations, hard-won lessons and bitter defeats all shape the course of the war.
Old empires crumble, superpowers emerge, and nothing will ever be the same. A new global order is forged in the fires of a total war that reaches a scale never before seen in human history.
All of this plays out to a grand, emotive score. The visuals aim to capture both the human experience and sweeping historical significance of these world-changing events. By the end, the audience has glimpsed both the personal and global consequences of this monumental conflict.
Roll credits.
