Hell on Wheels teIls 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 'HeIl 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.

Over time, HelI on Wheels chronicIes this potent turning point in American history, and how uncivilized the business of civilization can be. |
