L'automobile commença en -3 400 ans av. JC chez les sumériens qui inventèrent la roue. En 1860, Étienne Lenoir invente le moteur à explosion. En 1879 à 15 ans, Henry Ford voyait déjà l'automobile remplacer le cheval. À Détroit en 1893, après avoir travaillé en tant que mécanicien puis électricien chez Edison Company, il travaille dans son garage à la construction d'une voiture à essence.

00:28The discoverers
00:30They offer us all the guarantees of happiness
00:32An exemplary light
00:36Who enlightens, who prospers
00:38And opens the way to the dreams of humans
00:42They found levers to lift the world
00:47And thanks to them, the Earth wanted to play ring-around-the-rosie
00:52Turn, turn, all the wheels of locomotion
00:57And cars following each other in a line
01:00And they march by, then quickly speed away
01:02The discoverers
01:04I'm already dreaming of other pipe dreams.
01:06So that we may progress in the wisdom of our old age
01:13The discoverers
01:18The discoverers
01:32Hey, he hasn't arrived yet?
01:34In the meantime, I'll replace it, okay?
01:38GOOD
01:39Let's see, let's see, let's see
01:41Today, I'm going to tell you
01:43What could I possibly tell you?
01:46You're not up for it?
01:47No, you don't know all the wonderful stories of the maestro.
01:51That of scientists, of inventors
01:53Hey, what's this?
02:00Come and see, come and see!
02:06Well, I'll be!
02:11What a strange contraption!
02:13It looks like a wheeled car
02:16It's a car, though; it drives.
02:19An old cod, yes
02:31Oh, what an invention!
02:32It has transformed life for thousands of years
02:36Thousands of years, the car?
02:38No, come on!
02:39I was talking about the wheel before inventing the car
02:42The wheel had to be invented, didn't it?
02:44And that dates back more than 5000 years.
02:47In Sumer, in the Middle East
03:12Okay, are we good?
03:14Go! Go! Go !
03:27It's going fast, it's going very fast
03:30It's a great invention
03:31Come on, let's go tell the chief.
03:33He will surely reward us
03:35We cut slices from a wooden beam
03:38We attach them to a tray
03:39And it spins
03:40With a soul, it moves at full speed
03:42So, with two souls...
03:46Interesting
03:47We'll try
03:48If it works, you get a reward
03:49And otherwise...
03:50Did you say a beam?
03:52Yes yes
03:53Yes, yes, yes, yes
04:09Come on, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
04:22You have nothing, boss?
04:25Where are they going?
04:34Wheeled carts will be used with donkeys, horses, oxen, and zebras.
04:40But for a long time, men had dreamed of a motorized tank
04:44Already, Leonardo sat down
04:45The springs could make the wheels turn
04:49Perhaps...
04:50But Leonardo will forget this project, just as he will forget hundreds of others.
04:53The first automobile will be Cuillot's steam-powered car
04:58A few years later, the Scotsman William Murdoch would build a steam car
05:02The devil is after me!
05:04A Frenchman, André Lenoir, would invent the internal combustion engine
05:10This one will not be...
05:13Very practical
05:14A few years later, a German, Nikolaus Otto
05:18Mr. Langden, this is the engine that will revolutionize the world
05:22Do you believe that, Mr. Otto?
05:24I'm sure of it, it's the first internal combustion engine
05:27Blast ?
05:28Yes, sir, explosion, you'll see.
05:33An electric salt will cause the fuel mixed with air to explode.
05:42This will be the first internal combustion engine, as it is called.
05:45Because the explosion of a mixture of gasoline and air caused the piston to move
05:50The first motorized tricycle was manufactured by the German Karl Benz.
05:54And the first real car by his compatriot Gottlieb Temmler
06:03This will be the beginning of an extraordinary era
06:07Everywhere, they are starting to build cars
06:09Each one more beautiful than the other
06:15Imagine
06:18In France, the Peugeot Quadriche
06:20Port and Levasseur
06:22The Hedgerow Idea
06:25In Germany, the Benz Miller
06:27In France again, the Renault
06:29And the Deux Dion Bouton
06:31In Italy, the Fiat 3.5 horsepower
06:33In England, the Rolls-Royce and the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost
06:36Ah, what luxury, what beauty!
06:40Ah, those magnificent cars!
06:42Oh, that reminds me of a whole era
06:44Don't you remember?
06:46You weren't born yet.
06:47Me neither, by the way
06:48Finally, I don't think so.
06:50These were very expensive items
06:52Reserved for a select few
06:54All of this will change
06:56Thanks to a noble son of a nurse
06:58Born in the United States, Henry Ford
06:59You'll see
07:02Oh, look, Dad
07:29So, Henry, are you dreaming?
07:32I think soon
07:33There will no longer be horse-drawn carriages in the cities.
07:36The future is the motor car
07:38But you can never replace the horse, Henry.
07:40Steam isn't practical.
07:42Look at
08:06So, Henry, do you see yourself cutting wood in the city?
08:09Nothing of the sort, my horse, take me
08:11Oh, there must be other ways
08:13To make an engine run, dad
08:16Henry
08:16Yes, Dad
08:17I'm going to Detroit, do you want to come?
08:20Oh yes, Dad
08:26Well, Henry
08:28I enlarge
08:30Listen, your father and I have something to talk about.
08:32Go check out the workshop while you wait.
08:34It will distract you
08:35We'll join you later
08:36Yes, sir
08:40What is this ?
08:41Ah, the whistle of a steam engine
08:43It doesn't work?
08:44Of course not
08:45Otherwise, I won't blow into it like that.
08:49I can see, sir.
08:50Ah, another little smart aleck.
08:58Hey son, you seem to have a knack for mechanics.
09:02I'm trying, sir.
09:03Come, my little one, I would like to show you something
09:06A steam engine
09:08A customer brought me this; I don't understand why it doesn't work.
09:11Can you see that?
09:12Yes, sir
09:15Oh, well, well, well
09:24Ah, that was easy, I could have done it too
09:27You could have, you could have
09:28I've been asking you to fix it for ten days now.
09:31So, son, what do you want to do with your life?
09:34A motor car, sir
09:35An internal combustion engine
09:37I've heard about that
09:39It seems that it might work
09:40Oh, yes, sir.
09:41I made a drawing there.
09:44Hey, William
09:44Do you really need it on your son's farm?
09:47Oh, of course.
09:48I bought a large plot of land that I will give to him later.
09:51He will have his own farm
09:53You know, he's really good at mechanics.
09:56If he wants to stay with me, I'll take him.
09:57Oh yes, Dad
09:58Please
09:59Ah, there's no future in mechanics.
10:01But anyway, well, if you want
10:03Yes, well, thank you, Dad.
10:07Say, Mr. Flower
10:08Yes, Harry
10:09I'm listening to you
10:10To make my car
10:11I need to learn a little about electricity
10:14I was offered a job at the Edison power plant
10:17Doesn't that bother you?
10:18Of course not, son
10:20If you want to come back to my place, you'll always be welcome.
10:27Harry, there's a power outage at the Begleys' house.
10:30So run there quickly!
10:42Harry, there's a problem at the Hicks' house.
10:43I'm going
10:45Oh, but I forgot, sir
10:47I have to get married while waiting for you at the church
10:49Oh, you idiot, go
10:50Sometimes I think about other things, sir.
10:52Well, my boy, you're not someone you want to miss, that's for sure.
10:55I'll go for the repair in your place, don't worry.
11:03Henri, Henri, dinner is ready.
11:07I'm coming, darling
11:12Henri!
11:13Yes, yes, I'm coming
11:19Henri, the Christmas lady is ready
11:22I'm coming, darling
11:27Your engine?
11:28You need to help me.
11:31When I tell you, you will drip gasoline here.
11:37Go now
11:42It works, we can stop
11:44Now I'm going to build a two-cylinder engine and a car.
11:48Honey, I'm so proud
11:50Don't tell anyone, not yet.
11:52I want to be sure of what I'm doing
11:54Papa, papa, Henri!
11:56Henri!
11:57I'm coming, darling
12:00Henri, dinner
12:01I'm coming, darling
12:03Clara
12:05Clara, come and see
12:09What a marvel!
12:11I'm going to try it
12:15Oh no, that won't work.
12:17I still need to get her out of here
12:28Come
12:50Clara, Edsel, come
12:51We're going to show them
12:57Let's go
13:05Yeah, I don't believe in cars.
13:10Nothing could replace the horse, the delighted eve of man
13:13Ah, hold on, I agree, my dear friend.
13:16Even so, a car can work
13:18Yes, but it scares the horses
13:20But it's cleaner
13:22Oh, well no, that's not possible
13:24Oh, but what is...
13:25Oh, damn!
13:26Mr. Ford, we are planning to build an automobile factory.
13:30Do you want to join us?
13:31Oh, with joy!
13:40This brake isn't powerful enough.
13:44So, Mr. Ford, still not ready for this car?
13:47No, sir
13:47Further tests are needed to build a safe machine.
13:51You have already wasted three years
13:53And we spent a lot of money
13:55You are dismissed, Mr. Ford.
13:56I think you're going to regret it.
13:59Clara, we have almost no money left.
14:01Well, let's leave the house
14:02And let's go to my father's house, shall we?
14:04I will succeed, Clara, I promise you.
14:06I've almost finished my race car
14:08I trust you, Henri
14:10Oh, that's true, that's true
14:12Oh, that's true, that's true
14:14Oh, that's true, that's true
14:16Oh, that's true, that's true
14:17Oh, that's true, that's true
14:18Oh, that's true.
14:20Oh, that's true.
14:21Oh, that's true.
14:22Oh, that's true.
14:23And now, here is the event of the day.
14:26We are proud to welcome you to Detroit
14:29Alexander Winton
14:30Motor racing champion
14:3280 km per hour
14:34And his car develops 70 horsepower
14:37Yes, gentlemen, 70 horsepower
14:39And against Alexander Winton
14:41We have Henry Ford
14:44With his 26 horsepower car
14:46And an original car
14:47With a front-mounted engine
14:48Well, good luck, Mr. Ford.
14:51So, Mr. Ford
14:52Are you ready to face Mr. Winton?
14:54Yes, just a moment
14:56Take your time, sir.
14:58I hope you will at least manage to get started
15:02I'm ready
15:06So, gentlemen, go!
15:20Come on !
15:43Oh, seventh round
15:47Ford is still behind
15:48But seems to be catching up with Winton
15:50Winton pushing his pot machine
15:53The powerful car is attacked by the small Ford.
15:56It's David versus Goliath
15:57With one last round to go
15:59The void
16:01They will be delighted by the friend
16:03Ford is catching up with him
16:04He catches up with him
16:05He catches up with him
16:06He catches up with him
16:07He is caught
16:07They see the moment approaching
16:09Oh, what suspense!
16:10What a struggle, what a struggle!
16:17Incredible, Ford, the little mechanic won with his little car!
16:22But, but where is he?
16:35You had six thousand dollars.
16:39Me, three thousand.
16:41Two hundred.
16:44Fifty dollars.
16:46Five thousand dollars, Mr. Ford, to be a shareholder in your company.
16:55Now, let's get to work!
16:58And all this was happening, just a hundred years ago.
17:01America was already seeing superb Cadillacs, Rolls-Mobiles.
17:04However, in Europe, they were also starting to manufacture beautiful cars.
17:07The Mercedes from Lyon-Bouton, Renault, Neugeot.
17:14Ford, on the other hand, wanted to make a car for everyone.
17:17But there was no shortage of profiteers.
17:23Gentlemen, I have just obtained a patent on the internal combustion engine.
17:26From now on, no one in the United States will be able to manufacture a car without paying me a royalty.
17:31It's going to be very profitable.
17:41Mr. Ford, this is a disaster!
17:44A man named Céden took out a patent on the internal combustion engine.
17:47Royalties will have to be paid.
17:49We're going to be ruined.
17:51Ridiculous, it was a Frenchman, René Lenoir, who invented the first internal combustion engine more than 40 years ago.
17:58And this one was improved 20 years ago by a German.
18:01Otto Selden has no rights.
18:03The competition had become fierce.
18:05More than 150 manufacturers wanted to make cars.
18:07A major auto show was being prepared in New York.
18:13Where is the stand for displaying the Ford car?
18:16You are not a member of our association.
18:18No booth for you.
18:20You do not have the right to refuse us.
18:22Judge's decision.
18:23So follow me.
18:24I'm going to show you your seat.
18:33Here is your seat.
18:37Two or three more laps and it'll be fine.
18:38They put us in the cellar.
18:39No one will come.
18:40Oh yes, my friend Kulik.
18:42Because we are going to break the world speed record.
18:46Eh ?
18:46Eh ?
18:52I'm going to drive.
18:53You will stand on the chassis.
18:55Fuel needs to be injected quickly under pressure to gain power.
19:08Ready ?
19:08Yes !
19:09Go for it !
19:11Go for it !
19:26Yes !
19:28One mile in thirty-nine seconds!
19:30That makes it one hundred and forty-five kilometers per hour!
19:34Amazing !
19:43Buy the newspaper!
19:44Buy the newspaper!
19:44Report speeds in response!
19:46Buy the newspaper!
19:49145 kilometers per hour!
19:50Fantastic !
19:51Buy the newspaper!
20:03The Ford!
20:04The Ford! Where is the Ford?
20:20The Ford Model T, the first mass-produced car, would become the most popular model in the world.
20:26Millions and millions of copies will be sold over twenty years.
20:31Listen, Franck, we're going to do another race, the longest ever in the United States, from the Atlantic to
20:37Peaceful.
20:37We will have two cars there and you will drive one of them.
20:40I can't, I have to testify at this trial.
20:42Okay, Henry.
20:43We are listening, Mr. Ford.
20:45That's your honor. The internal combustion engine was invented by a Frenchman half a century ago.
20:50The thrust on the piston was no longer exerted by steam.
20:54Mr. Selton didn't invent anything at all.
20:56No! No!
21:17Okay, you can go.
21:32Twin Falls, is that the way?
21:34Yeah, but with that contraption, you'll never manage it.
21:40Is this the direction of Twin Falls?
21:42No, it's on the other side.
22:02One of ours, look.
22:06Hey !
22:24Yes, go ahead, it might be safer.
22:26Okay.
22:45Goodbye, it might be safer.
22:56If there is a next one, sir.
23:00Yes, well done!
23:02Ford, by fate, the victor!
23:04And Ford began manufacturing its car for everyone.
23:07We sold 250,000 cars in one year.
23:12In two years, we cut the price in half, from $1000 to $500.
23:16I now propose to double the wages of our workers.
23:20Tannable.
23:21We are a business, not a charity.
23:23It is the shareholders, not the workers, who should receive money.
23:27We have, Mr. Dodge, far more money than we need.
23:31It was a true revolution.
23:33Workers, not just bosses, were going to benefit from industrialization.
23:38Fords were selling like hotcakes and were used for all sorts of purposes.
23:43Come on, chick!
24:08Yes, Franck, we have sold 10 million Model Ts.
24:11I kept my promise, since everyone can afford their strength.
24:15Those were the glorious days of the automobile.
24:18The Roaring Twenties.
24:19Look at these wonders.
24:21Mercedes-Benz, Deßenberg, Hodgkins, Rolls-Royce, Lancia, Hispano.
24:27Ah, this is all very unpleasant.
24:29And not very fast.
24:30Not very fast? Listen, in 1927, the Golden Arrow reached 370 km/h.
24:41In 1970, the Blue Flame reached speeds of over 1000 km/h.
24:47I'm saying well over 1000 km per hour.
24:51Even today, these are not speeds that are reached every day.
24:54And if the car has become part of everyday life, Henry Ford certainly had a lot to do with it.
24:58Of course, this causes some pretty bad traffic jams.
25:01But what can you do? That's progress for you.
25:06Discoverers shape better worlds for us.
25:10With their eyes turned towards the sky, their thoughts wander elsewhere.
25:15Spinning hands and snow of stars, planets, and comets.
25:20Here the man takes off, he is about to leave the ground.
25:23My words are that he should fly away.
25:25Tomorrow, they will lead us to other heights.
25:28Because for them, man is only at the beginning of his story.
