From writer/producer Rand Ravich ("Life," "The Astronaut's Wife") and starring Dermot Mulroney ("The Grey," "My Best Friend's Wedding"), Gillian Anderson ("The X-Files," "Hannibal"), Lance Gross ("Tyler Perry's House of Pain," "The Last Fall") and Rachael Taylor ("Transformers," "Red Dog") comes an emotionally charged, action thriller. It's field trip day for the students of Ballard High School, a place that educates the children of Washington, D.C.'s elite, top-of-their-industry CEOs, international diplomats, political power players and even the president's son. But when their bus is ambushed on a secluded rural road, the teenagers and their chaperones are taken, igniting a national crisis. Now with some of the country's most powerful parents at the mercy of one vengeful mastermind, the question arises: How far would you go and what would you become to ensure your child's safe return? With so many parents and dignitaries put into play with nowhere to turn and no one to trust, this unthinkable scenario grows from the select families at risk to an entire nation at stake.

Also starring are Stevie Lynn Jones ("Battle Force," "Rogue"), Halston Sage ("The First Time," "How to Rock"), Joshua Erenberg ("The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," "The Green Hornet"), Max Schneider ("How to Rock," "Rags"), James Lafferty ("One Tree Hill," "S. Darko"), Max Martini ("Saving Private Ryan," "The Unit") and Michael Beach ("The Game," "Third Watch").

Ravich, Far Shariat ("Life," "I Love You Phillip Morris") and Phillip Noyce ("Salt," "Patriot Games"), who directed the pilot, serve as executive producers. "Crisis" is from 20th Century Fox Television

Of all the pilots announced for this fall this is the one I am most looking forward to.
 
I don't see how this can go beyond the first season. Especially with the kids belonging to some of the world's most powerful people. Can you honestly see the President's kid still held captive in a 2nd or 3rd season?

One thing that will obviously happen is that all the letters (FBI, NSA, CIA, HS, etc.) will look stupid in this series. They have to be to make the story work. lol

Believe is the other NBC series that I'm looking forward to.

besides The Blacklist , I think this is probably the only one that stuck out to me.

That's what I'm thinking just by looking at the initial synopsis. I don't know why the networks don't try more limited run shows instead of trying to milk everything they can out of a concept for as long as they can.
 
Wouldn't each season just feature a new Crisis? Just a non-real time 24? The show will probably run uninterrupted for 13-15 episodes next year.
 
NBC literally took all their new series that I have any interest in (this, Believe, About a Boy) and decided to hold them until midseason.

Now if they went with this approach it could work. New batch of victims in each season to save. The same group getting victimized would get somewhat silly.

For Lance Gross it's a huge step up over Tyler Perry's House of Payne.

lol... Gross is all tense in that pic. While the kid is going "okay, chill the **** out."

Thanks. :up:

This looks great, exactly how I hoped it would be, but like Hostages it does seem more of an event type of show as opposed to something with potential for a few seasons, unless of course the Crisis expands and evolves across the first season.
 
Is this a DC comics show? Because I thought they were the only company allowed to use the word "crisis". :p
 
I dont know, I was expecting something more from the trailer.
 
^^^ I was expecting a bit more action but I like the set up of the concept.
