The fast-paced spot has given inflight safety films a Hollywood makeover, taking them from boring to dynamic and landing it our favorite ad today.

Tui has reinvented bog standard flight safety films and reimagined them through the lens of world cinema. What this spot, ‘A Global Film’ by Leo Burnett, does well is not only engage the viewer with each thrilling scene, but also advertises the range of destinations the airline goes to.

Cleverly, throughout the spot, each scene takes inspiration from a different genre popular in or made famous by a country that Tui flies to.

The ad is ambitious, too, at a whopping nearly five minutes long. It also involves working with Bollywood choreographers, dance troupes and historical clothing experts to create a truly authentic film.

Its attention to detail, paired with the craft and humor, is extremely entertaining in a typically quite boring category.
