Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank, Film studio in Burbank, United States.
Warner Bros. Studios is a film studio in Burbank, California that spreads across 25 hectares and contains 29 sound stages of varying sizes for movie and television productions. The complex also holds workshops, editing rooms, office buildings, and outdoor sets for different production needs.
The studio started operations in 1926 as First National Studio before the Warner brothers acquired it in the late twenties. It grew into the main production site during the thirties and has remained a center for film and television productions for over a century.
The studio architecture reflects classic Hollywood industrial buildings from the twenties and thirties, mixed with modern production facilities. Visitors can see active filming taking place during tours and watch how movies and shows come together on working sets.
The studio sits on Warner Boulevard and opens for guided tours through advance reservations that last several hours. Tours involve quite a bit of walking, so comfortable shoes help, and visitors should prepare for changing indoor and outdoor conditions.
Stage 16 holds a water tank containing about 2 million gallons (7.5 million liters), making it among the largest sound stages in North America. This tank has been used for countless underwater and ocean scenes in well-known productions.
