LOST is the thrilling adventure of 48 survivors of a plane crash, all stranded on an island that holds many secrets.
Matthew Fox (“Party of Five”) stars as Jack, the quick-thinking doctor and group leader.
Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from the plane for their survival. Some panic.
Some pin their hopes on rescue. A few find inner strength they never knew they had — like Kate (Evangeline
Lilly), who, with no medical training, suddenly finds herself suturing the doctor's wounds. Hurley (Jorge Garcia,
TV’s “Becker”) — a man with a warm sense of humor despite the desperate situation — does his best to keep his
cool as he helps those around him to survive. Charlie (Dominic Monaghan, “The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy) is a
faded rock star who harbors a painful secret. Sayid (Naveen Andrews, “Bride and Prejudice”) is a Middle Eastern
man who must wrestle with the racial profiling directed at him by some of his fellow survivors.
Jin (Daniel Dae Kim, TV’s “24”) and Sun (Yunjin Kim, “Shiri”) are a Korean couple whose traditions, values and
language are foreign, causing much to get lost in the translation. Sawyer (Josh Holloway, TV’s “Sabretooth”) has
an air of danger surrounding him, and his intense sense of mistrust for everyone around him could prove to be
fatal to his fellow castaways. Michael (Harold Perrineau, TV’s “Oz”) has just gained custody of his nine-year-old
son, Walt (Malcolm David Kelley, “Antwone Fisher”), after the death of his ex-wife — they are a father and son who
don't even know each other. Locke (Terry O'Quinn, TV’s “The West Wing”) is a mysterious man who keeps to
himself, and who harbors a deeper connection to the island than any of the others. Claire (Emile de Ravin, TV’s
“The Beastmaster”) is pregnant. Self-centered Shannon (Maggie Grace, TV’s “Cold Case”) and her estranged
controlling brother, Boone (Ian Somerhalder, TV’s “Young Americans”), constantly bicker and must learn to get
along if they are to survive.
The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together against the cruel weather and harsh
terrain if they want to stay alive. But the island holds many secrets, including the intense howls of the mysterious
creatures stalking the jungle, which fill them all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-
thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, they have hope. But even heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to
learn.
J.J. Abrams (creator of “Alias”) and Damon Lindelof, who co-created LOST, serve as executive producers along
with Bryan Burk, Carlton Cuse and Jack Bender. LOST, which is filmed entirely on location in Hawaii, is from
Touchstone Television.
