Last Resort

Last Resort (U.S. TV series)



The series is about the renegade crew of a United States Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, the fictional USS Colorado (SSBN-753), that receives an order to launch nuclear missiles at Pakistan. When Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) asks for confirmation of the orders, as they were received through a legacy Cold War secondary system, only to be used in the event that Washington, DC is destroyed, he is relieved of command. His second in command, Lieutenant Commander Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman), is put in command in his place, but when he, too, questions the orders and asks for confirmation, the vessel is fired upon by the Virginia-class submarine USS Illinois (SSN-786). Two nuclear missile strikes are subsequently made on Pakistan by other United States forces.
Realizing that they have been declared enemies of their own country, they and the crew seek refuge on the island of Sainte Marina (a fictional French island located in the Indian Ocean), commandeer a NATO communications and missile warning facility. When a pair of B-1 bombers are sent to attack the submarine and island, Captain Chaplin launches a Trident nuclear missile towards Washington, DC to impress upon the national leadership that he is serious. The B-1s turn away at the last minute, but Chaplin (who has altered the target coordinates) allows the missile to visibly overfly Washington, DC and explode 200 miles beyond in the open Atlantic, the explosion clearly visible from both Washington and New York City, and declare a 200 mile exclusion zone around the island

Now the crew must find a way to prove their innocence and find out who set them up so that they can return home.
