Heroes

A closer look at the story

Ordinary people living in different corners of the world, strangers to one another, discover one day that they have extraordinary abilities. Some can fly, some can read other people's thoughts; some can paint the future, others cannot be destroyed. There are those who can bend time and those who can turn invisible. But these powers bring a heavy burden: each of them must first learn to discover, accept and control their gift. Over time their lives start to intertwine, because they share a common destiny: saving the world from a devastating catastrophe. The paths of characters such as Hiro Nakamura, Claire Bennet, Peter and Nathan Petrelli and Noah Bennet cross in the effort to stop this great threat. Created by Tim Kring and airing on NBC from 2006 for four seasons and 78 episodes, this science-fiction drama brings together Masi Oka, Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia.
