AMC has released the first promo for their upcoming
drama Halt and Catch Fire, which captures the rise of the PC era in the 1980's
during which a trio (a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy) take personal and
professional risks in the race to build the computer that forever will change
the world as they and we know it.
Created by Chris Cantwell and Chris Rogers the 10
episode series will premiere on Sunday, June 1st at 10 pm ET/PT. Halt and Catch
Fire stars Lee Pace as Joe MacMillan, Scoot
McNairy as Gordon Clark, Mackenzie Davis as Cameron Howe, Kerry Bishé as Donna
Clark and Toby Huss as John Bosworth.
Halt and Catch Fire is
set roughly one year after IBM all but corners the market with the release of
its first major product – the IBM PC. In this fictional drama, a former IBM
executive, Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) plans to reverse engineer the flagship
product of his former employer and forces his current company, Cardiff
Electric, into the personal computer race. MacMillan enlists the help of Gordon
Clark (Scoot McNairy), a once great engineer who dreams of creating a revolutionary
product while trying to manage his initially unsupportive wife Donna (Kerry
Bishé), and Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis), a volatile prodigy who puts her
future in jeopardy to join MacMillan's rogue PC project. Halt and Catch Fire thrives
on the spirit of innovation and explores what it's like to stand at the
forefront of something world-changing and work towards it, no matter the risk.
