Well, it’s not the six minute preview of Revolution NBC promised to tease viewers with during the Olympics, but at least this new clip from the upcoming sci-fi action series does show a bit more of the backstory of how Earth loses its power. Created by J.J. Abrams (Lost) and Eric Kripke (Supernatural), Revolution stars Billy Burke (Bella’s dad in the Twilight franchise), Anna Lise Phillips, Graham Rogers, Tim Guiee, David Lyons, Tracy Spiridakos, Andrea Roth, Maria Howell, JD Pardo, Zak Orth, and Giancarlo Esposito.
The Plot:
What would you do without it all? In this epic adventure, a family struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out forever. A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, Revolution is also about family — both the family you’re born into and the family you choose. This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos), and her brother Danny (Graham Rogers).
When Danny is kidnapped by militia leaders for a darker purpose, Charlie must reconnect with her estranged uncle Miles (Billy Burke), a former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia, and ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if — or how — it will ever return.
