About The Show
Executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer (C.S.I. franchise), Oscar-nominated
director/producer Taylor Hackford (Ray) and actors Benjamin Bratt and Dennis
Hopper join forces for storytelling inside the nation's ultimate fortress: the
Pentagon. It's a hub of explosive conflicts between our military heroes and the
civilians to whom they report, a world where crises can escalate into
life-and-death climaxes for individuals and entire nations. It's often a
delicate balance between protecting the homeland, all of mankind or the life of
a lone soldier. Aunjanue Ellis and Sarah Clarke also star.
