Rueben's Ramblings

On September 27, the new drama Last Resort will debut on ABC at 8 PM.

The U.S. ballistic missile submarine Colorado receive an order to fire nuclear weapons on Pakistan; but Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) demands confirmation of the orders only to be unceremoniously relieved of duty by the White House. XO Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman) finds himself in charge, facing the same difficult decision. He also refuses the order, causing the Colorado to be targeted, fired upon and hit. The submarine and its crew find themselves crippled on the ocean floor being declared enemies of their own country. With nowhere left to turn, the crew takes the sub to an exotic island to find refuge, romance and a chance at a new life, as they try to clear their names and get home.

Among the cast are Autumn Reeser (The O.C.), Daisy Betts (Persons Unknown), Dichen Lachman (Dollhouse), Jessy Schram (Falling Skies) and Robert Patrick (The Unit).

Here is the trailer for Last Resort.
