城市的一隅。一家银行外的提款机前，一中年胖男人正熟练地操作着自动提款机。在他不远处的路边停着一辆破旧的红色夏利。车内坐着两个游走在城市边缘总想靠歪门邪道捞取不义之财的无业人员熊棋和潘安。他们专注地盯着提款机前的中年男人，伺机下手。城市的另一处，在一幢高级写字楼里，一家大公司的总经理室，中年经理坐在大班桌前，在他对面，坐着衣冠楚楚的某新成立的广告公司的经理段誉。展正在口若悬河宣传自己公司的业务，希望能与该公司合作。却被对方无情拒绝。段誉精明强干讲义气幽默乐观却爱耍些小聪明，但事业上却不如意，大学毕业后几年下来做了许多生意，均不顺利，后来好不容易拿到一家
阿左（张怀云 饰）自认是全台北最穷的国中生，为了改变这个现况，他把脑筋动到了学校储藏室中没有人管理的废弃物上，“如果把这些东西变卖给回收…”阿左盘算著，但是，他没有盘算到半路会遇到小天。 小天（魏汉鼎 饰）也自认是全台北最穷的国中生，也为了改变这个现况，他也把脑筋动到了学校储藏室中没有人管理的废弃 物上，“如果把这些东西变卖给回收…”小天也盘算著，但是，他也没有盘算到半路遇到阿左，阿左也对废弃物有兴趣。 阿左和小天互不相让，于是，一场废弃物争夺战在平静的校园展开，而这场尔虞我诈，两败俱伤的争夺战终将让他们开始反省为何社会存在著贫穷，让他们开始面对即将到来成人世界……
Massive machines require engineering extremes. The massive man-made satellite, commonly known as the International Space Station, hurtling around the Earth at 27,600 km an hour, has been a temporary home for humans for the last 20 years. The biggest land vehicle on earth, a bucket excavator titled Bagger 293, that can move 240,000 cubic meters of dirt each day. Innovation has always meant building bigger, faster, taller, longer and stronger than anything that came before. We’ve seen them in dramatic visual fashion. But how do these actually work? What sets each machine apart. What big ideas drove its evolution and what limitations did this machine overcome? What forces was it built to withstand and where is the breaking point? Using CGI and expert insights, we ‘strip down’ the design of some of the world’s unique colossal machines and reveal mechanical secrets that not only made them work, but also changed the world in a big way! Each episode explores four incredible machines, linked thematically. From sea and space faring designs, to mega airborne, mining and industrial machines, we’ll break down what they can do as well as key inner mechanics and materials that make it all possible. Dynamic archival footage featuring; slow motion, aerials, and time-lapses get us past the ‘caution’ tape and up close and personal with these compound monsters. CGI provides breakouts and blueprints and a look at hidden mechanisms. Adding expertise of structural, mechanical, chemical and forensic engineers to help reveal what’s at stake when these colossal constructions are put work, and how all the pieces come together to make a big impact.
