Chernobyl: The people behind a nuclear disaster
A closer look at the story
In 1986 an explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union sets off one of the most serious disasters ever caused by human error. Plant workers, firefighters and the scientists trying to understand what has happened are forced into a race against an invisible danger. Rather than treating the accident as spectacle, the series asks how it came about and pays close attention to the ordinary people who carried its cost. Created by Craig Mazin and broadcast by HBO in 2019 as a five-episode miniseries, it features Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson in an intense drama drawn from real events.
