The six-part miniseries “The Plot Against America”, based on Philip Roth’s beloved novel of the same name, will be followed on HBO GO.
Family members in New Jersey are watching the political rise of populist aviator and xenophobic hero Charles Lindbergh, who becomes president and points the nation toward fascism.
The first episode begins on the eve of the 1940 election cycle, when incumbent President Franklin Roosevelt, a politician as professional as he can produce democracy, is suddenly challenged by an outside politician. Lindbergh gained fame because of his legendary solo flight over the Atlantic 13 years ago and is, for many Americans, one of the country’s greatest heroes.
