The film "Beyond All Boundaries" will be shown exclusively at the museum's new Victory Theater, which includes elements billed as "4-D" such as wind and shaking seats to accent vintage footage from Pearl Harbor and the Battle of the Bulge playing on a 120-foot-wide screen.
The theater was built for the film as part of a $300 million expansion of the museum that is expected to continue through 2015.
Two other museum additions - a canteen that will feature musical revues inspired by USO-style productions and a restaurant called The American Sector - are also opening Friday.
