The magnificent documentary chronicles the history of the (LSR) Land Speed Record from the first recorded speed record by the Belgians in 1898, to the current sound barrier record of the British in the fastest cars on Earth using aircraft engines, jets, and rockets. Forty seven years in the making by award winning producer Paul Kiener, and music by academy award winning composer Charles Bernstein, One Second From Eternity makes a truly unique and moving motion picture that captures the extreme danger when human life hangs by a thread, and the slightest mistake means death.
