In 1889, as Paris prepared to host the World’s Fair, a bold iron structure rose above the city — destined to become its most enduring symbol. Conceived as a celebration of modernity and industrial genius, the tower challenged every architectural convention of its time. Engineer Gustave Eiffel spent years defending his vision against fierce criticism, as many Parisians denounced the project as monstrous and out of place. Undeterred, he led one of the most ambitious construction sites of the century, pioneering techniques that would forever change engineering. This high-end docu-drama retraces the extraordinary human and technical adventure behind the birth of an icon.
