What is Fallout about?
Prime Video describes the Fallout series as a “story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have.” It follows a brand-new original story set in the world of the video games.
Its official synopsis reads: “Taking place 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind – and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.”
