Hell on WheeIs tells the epic story of post-CiviI War America, focusing on a Confederate solider (Anson Mount) who sets out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who have killed his wife. His journey takes him west to 'HeII on Wheels,' a dangerous, raucous, IawIess melting pot of a town that traveIs with and services the construction of the first transcontinentaI raiIroad, an engineering feat unprecedented for its time. The series expIores the railroad's institutionalized greed and corruption, the immigrant experience, and the pIight of the newIy emancipated African-Americans during reconstruction. Over time, Hell on WheeIs chronicles this potent turning point in American history, and how uncivilized the business of civilization can be. |
