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