"Basically, I was somehow convinced to volunteer myself as a human guinea pig and endure a series of mental and physical challenges across the globe, all for the sake of science," The Marvel actor said when the documentary series was initially announced in 2020. "We're hoping to shed some light on new ideas and emerging science with the focus on extending a healthy life span," he further added.

These "physical and mental tasks" include examination of actual endurance and strength, as seen in short clips of Hemsworth pulling a truck, climbing a rope over a canyon, taking a skin-chilling swim with pro endurance athlete 'Ross Edgley', as well as more ceremonial experiences which appear to be about fostering long-term happiness and self-acceptance.
