ITV Studios-owned Plimsoll Productions and EOS Films have announced new IMAX/Giant Screen feature Horse Power, narrated by Josh Brolin.
Distributed worldwide early next year by SK Films, the film is billed as an “epic journey across continents that celebrates the extraordinary abilities of horses and their enduring bond with humanity.”
At the heart of Horse Power is a coming-of-age story following eight-year-old Julaa and her young Mongolian horse as they train for the race of a lifetime. Immersive and cinematic, the film then expands into a global tapestry of extraordinary equine lives: wild herds navigating untamed landscapes, legendary desert stallions known for their speed and stamina, steadfast service horses performing under pressure and miniature therapy horses offering comfort where it’s needed most. Interweaving these narratives, the film highlights the shared courage, intelligence and emotional depth of horses across cultures.
The production received significant funding and support from American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC), whose partnership provided access and expertise to bring the story of America’s iconic wild mustangs and their indigenous context to the production whilst raising awareness of the threats to the iconic American Wild Horse.
“Seeing horses on an 80-foot screen in 3D offers a visceral experience like no other. There’s something uniquely cinematic about the way horses move through the world, and IMAX allows us to lean into that grandeur. — the thunder of hooves, the intimacy of connection and the sheer presence of these iconic animals that are an essential part of our shared history,” says Mark Brownlow, Head of Natural History at Plimsoll Productions. “Horse Power is the kind of global, emotionally rich story the Giant Screen was made for, and we’re thrilled to bring audiences along for the ride.”
Patricia Miller, Board Chair, American Wild Horse Conservation, says: “America has an everlasting love affair with horses. Horse Power will move audiences to see America’s wild horses not just as icons of freedom, but as living, breathing symbols of our shared heritage—worthy of lasting protection. Through breathtaking IMAX storytelling and immersive education programs, people will feel the beauty of these wild herds and understand what’s at stake in keeping them wild.”
Plimsoll recently earned multiple Emmy Awards for A Real Bug’s Life (Disney+/National Geographic) and has produced series, including Nightmares of Nature with Blumhouse Television (Netflix), Tiny World (Apple TV+), and Super/Natural(Disney+/National Geographic).
