Both is and are represent conjugations of the verb "to be". Whether as an identity, characteristic, or auxiliary verb, the form IS always applies to a singular, third person tense, and ARE to a plural third person or to the second person (you).

Examples :

He is in the car.

She is in the car.

They are in the car.

You are in the car.

He is watching the movie.

She is warching the movie.

They are watching the movie.

You are watching the movie.
