There were plenty of tears and cheers as Hyundai pulled together an emotional Super Bowl advert uniting American troops and their families as they watched the game over 5,000 miles apart.

The 90-second spot was filmed using satellite technology and 360-degree immersive pods and shows US troops at a military base in Zagan, Poland, watching the game.

A few service members are called into a room, where they are connected virtually to their family members - who are live at the game in Houston, Texas.

Peter Berg, who made 2016 films Patriots Day and Deepwater Horizon and the 2013 film Lone Survivor, directed the spot, Entertainment Weekly reported.

In the immersive pods, the troops find themselves face-to-face with their loved ones back home who are attending the Super Bowl

The spot ends with the text: 'Watching the Super Bowl is amazing. Watching it with the ones you love is better'

It begins with an establishing shot of the military base as text states: 'Millions of people just watched the Super Bowl. Which wouldn't be possible without our troops.

'That's why Hyundai made their Super Bowl a little better.'

The scene is then set in a large hangar space, where soldiers are watching the Super Bowl.

Sergeant Richard Morrill, Specialist Erik Guerrero and Corporal Trista Strauch are then called out of the room.

Morrill said: 'I've got my wife Emily, my four-year-old daughter Hadley. The hardest thing about this deployment, can't really explain it too well?

Just, "Daddy's got to go to work again."'

Typically, ads that air before or after the game don't get much attention. But the unusual approach of Hyundai's ad helped the spot get attention before the game

2016 Presidential Candidate Jeb Bush wrote: 'Hyundai ad of US soldiers serving in Poland was amazing'

Actress Aisha Tyler said the commercial made her emotional

Chicago Cubs player Kris Bryant said the ad 'was the best one yet'

It may also have been helped by the New England Patriots' comeback to beat the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28, in the first Super Bowl overtime.

The commercial generated an extremely positive reaction on social media with 2016 Presidential Candidate Jeb Bush, Chicago Cubs' Kris Bryant and actress Aisha Tyler all tweeting their support for the ad.
