Game Plot Synopsis

Fallout’s plot synopsis (the game): “The game has a post-apocalyptic and retro-futuristic setting, taking place in the mid-22nd century decades after a global nuclear war in an alternate history timeline. The protagonist of Fallout is an unnamed inhabitant of a Vault, part of a network of long-term nuclear shelters, who is forced to venture out into the wastes to find a replacement Water Chip and save their fellow Vault inhabitants.”

TV Series Plot Synopsis

Fallout‘s plot synopsis (the TV series): “The world of Fallout is one where the future envisioned by Americans in the late 1940s explodes upon itself through a nuclear war in 2077. In Fallout, the harshness of the wasteland is set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy. It is serious  in tone, yet sprinkled with moments of ironic humor and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies.”

There is no word yet when this TV series will premiere on Amazon Prime Video.
