They - there are two, a cockpit voice recorder and a flight data recorder - are in the tail of the plane, in a compartment that isn't easy to open.
Both 'black boxes ' are usually at the base of the tail fin (and usually orange in colour.)
The black box is an emergency locator on an airplane. It records important information in the event that a plane crashes or becomes incapacitated. The black box is located toward the front of the plane where it can record the information on a plane.

A black box is a small data recording device, located near the tail end of an aeroplane (The tail is the part of a plane most likely to survive an accident). They are used to help investigators find the reason why a plane might crash. Black boxes record hundreds of different flight data, including altitude, cruising speed etc. They are very tough- virtually indestructible. Contrary to their name, black boxes are not black. They are orange, to be easily located in the wreckage of a crashed plane. No one knows why this is.
