PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Credited for “helping
to modernize the Western genre”
when it premiered in 2011, Hell on Wheels centers on former
Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), whose quest for vengeance
has led him to the Union Pacific Railroad's westward construction of the first
transcontinental railroad. Currently reigning as the #2 rated show
on AMC (with a series premiere that was the second highest rated AMC debut of
all time), it is episodic TV at its very best. And before Season Two
rolls into town this fall, home viewers can catch up on all the frontier drama
in this star-studded smash with HELL ON WHEELS: THE COMPLETE FIRST
SEASON, arriving on DVD and blu-ray this May, only from Entertainment One.
“Hell on Wheels”
tells the epic story of post-Civil War America, focusing on a soldier who sets
out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who have killed his wife. His
journey takes him west to Hell on Wheels, a dangerous, raucous, lawless melting
pot of a town that travels with and services the construction of the railroad,
an engineering feat unprecedented for its time. The lavishly-produced series
documents the railroad’s engineering and construction, as well as
institutionalized greed and corruption, the immigrant experience and the plight
of newly emancipated African-Americans during Reconstruction. Chronicling
this potent turning point in our nation’s history, this fan favorite series
shows just how uncivilized the business of civilization can be across 10
absorbing episodes.
Developed by Endemol
USA and produced by Entertainment One and Nomadic Pictures, Hell on Wheels is
created, written, and executive-produced by Joe and Tony Gayton (Faster, Uncommon
Valor, The Salton Sea, Bulletproof).
