Higgs takes us inside the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on a quest for the Higgs particle. Sometimes called "The God Particle," this is the missing link in particle physics. At CERN, a physics lab underneath the border between France and Switzerland, the biggest research project in history is under construction: the LHC, which at 17 miles long is the most powerful particle accelerator ever. Thousands of scientists from all over the world are working together at CERN to find the Higgs particle, which is a needle hidden in a million haystacks. Filmed over the course of four years, as research at the largest laboratory on earth unfolds, the filmmakers take us on an amazing cinematic journey into the heart of imagination.
