Videos and DVDs
All ten episodes from the first season of the American drama charting the rise of the computer industry in the early 1980s. Set in Texas' Silicon Prairie, the series follows former IBM sales executive Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) who recruits engineer Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy) and student Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis) to help him covertly reverse-engineer one of his former employer's computers at the fledgling tech company Cardiff Electric. In this series, the visionaries find themselves facing an intimidating lawsuit from a persistent corporate behemoth. Meanwhile, when the team prepare to show off their revolutionary work at the computer expo COMDEX, Gordon has to deal with his past failures after the computer he designed with his wife Donna (Kerry Bishé) flopped at the show two years before. The episodes are: 'I/O', 'FUD', 'High Plains Hardware', 'Close to the Metal', 'Adventure', 'Landfall', 'Giant', 'The 214s', 'Up Helly Aa' and '1984'.
