Hostages: Story, Cast and Series Facts
Hostages (2022): History. Series details, synopsis and season dates from TVmaze.
Story and premise
Series explores the Iran hostage crisis of 1979 and the tumultuous history of U.S./Iran relations.
On November 4, 1979, Iranian student activists stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking over 60 Americans hostage. What was planned as a 48-hour sit-in to protest American imperialism, ballooned into an international crisis and 24/7 media event that would last 444 days. With never-before-seen archival footage and revelatory new interviews with the American hostages and Iranian hostage-takers alike, the series is a gripping chronicle of one of the most dramatic international deadlocks in American history, a deep dive into the geo-political history that led to the crisis, and an exploration of the political fallout that reverberates today.
