Set in the early 1980s, Halt and Catch Fire dramatises the personal computing boom through the eyes of a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy. Their partnership will be challenged by greed and ego while charting the changing culture of Texas’ Silicon Prairie.
Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace, Guardians of the Galaxy), a former IBM executive, plans to reserve engineer the company’s flagship product – the IBM PC – and force his current employer into the personal computer race. MacMillan enlists the help of Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy, Gone Girl), a once-great engineer whose dreams of creating a revolutionary product have created tension in his marriage to Donna (Kerry Bish�, Argo), and Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis, What If), a volatile prodigy who puts her future in jeopardy to join MacMillan’s rogue project.
Halt and Catch Fire thrives on the spirit of innovation, and explores what it’s like to be at the forefront of something world-changing, and work towards it – no matter the risk.
