Summary
The world's last wildernesses. Creatures never filmed before. Moments of breathtaking beauty alongside the raw brutality of survival. Planet Earth takes viewers to places they will never go and shows them things they will never see.
The first nature series filmed entirely in high definition, eleven episodes each explore a different ecosystem—polar ice caps to deep ocean, mountains to jungle. Five years, 40 cameramen, 200 locations, and 64 countries in the making, it remains the most ambitious nature documentary ever produced. Attenborough's narration guides viewers through daily survival without advocacy—beauty and brutality both on full display.
The most comprehensive and visually stunning portrait of our planet ever committed to film.
