What if the modern smart home didn’t begin with Alexa, Wi‑Fi, or smartphones?

Inside Graceland, Elvis Presley surrounded himself with technology that felt decades ahead of its time: an early microwave oven, a briefcase telephone, a phone inside his limousine, intercoms throughout the house, televisions in multiple rooms, closed-circuit security cameras, and one of Sony’s earliest home video recorders.

But Graceland wasn’t a fully automated home. There were no computers, no internet, and no voice assistants. Sometimes, Elvis still had to ask someone else to get up and change the channel.

This documentary explores how Elvis used technology for entertainment, communication, security, food, and access to the people around him—and why his private world feels surprisingly familiar today.
Featuring Graceland’s TV Room, kitchen technology, Elvis’s gold Cadillac, early home video, multi-screen television setups, and closed-circuit security.
