Jonathan Nolan, the brother of the creator of the Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer”, is the director and producer of the series “Fallout”. When asked whether his new work is intended to please primarily fans of the cult game, he firmly denied it. He assured that he had created a story that was intended to fulfill the creators’ hopes.
“I don’t think you can prepare to please the original fanbase. Or anyone else except yourself. I think you have to make the series according to your own beliefs and believe that as creators – and also as fans of the game series – we will be able to create a story with the most important elements in the best possible version,” assured Nolan.
“Fallout” tells the story of life in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, where 200 years after the nuclear holocaust, people are forced to live in luxurious underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants and dangerous bandits. In such conditions, the characters must learn to live in a very complex world.
Lucy (Ella Purnell) is an optimistic shelter resident with a typical American spirit of action. Her calm nature and idealistic approach to life are put to the test when she has to leave the shelter to save her father.
Maximus (Aaron Moten), a young soldier who rises through the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel military faction, does everything he can to pursue the Brotherhood’s goals of restoring law and order to the wasteland.
In turn, Ghoul (Walton Goggins) is a morally ambiguous bounty hunter who still carries with him the 200-year history of the post-nuclear world.
