ABC's new thriller Last Resort casts a rebellious Navy submarine crew as heroes in a world where America's foreign policy has led to an inexplicable nuclear war. Andrew Braugher, as Capt. Marcus Chaplin, initiates the central conflict by refusing direct orders to fire his sub's warheads on Pakistan. The crew members find themselves a target of the country they once defended and seek refuge on a remote tropical island, using their nukes to threaten anybody who has a beef with them.

Unfortunately Last Resort's first few episodes can't maintain a tight ship...
