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