Overview

Two hundred years after nuclear war turned America into a radioactive wasteland, the pampered residents of luxury underground Vaults are forced back to the surface — and what they find is stranger, darker and far more violent than their sheltered upbringing ever prepared them for. Fallout follows Vault dweller Lucy MacLean, whose sheltered optimism collides with the brutal reality of the Wasteland, as her search for her missing father pulls her into a sprawling conspiracy involving the Brotherhood of Steel, the New California Republic and the mysterious Ghoul, a gunslinger who has survived the apocalypse for centuries. Based on the beloved video game series, the show blends retro-futuristic 1950s Americana with bone-crunching action, pitch-black comedy and genuine moral weight. Vault-Tec’s secrets, the price of survival and the question of who really ended the world drive a story that rewards both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
