The Man in the High Castle

Post by humbucker »

An Amazon Prime original series, The Man in the High Castle is well worth a watch (if you have Amazon Prime!).

It's an adaptation of the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name that explores an alternative history of the world should the Axis powers have won WW2. The Nazis have conquered Europe, they've enslaved the African nations and have control of the Eastern half of the USA. Japan controls the West Coast, with a 'neutral' zone between the two.

It's the mid 1960s, Hitler is getting old and high-ranking Nazi officials are planning what to do when he pops his clogs. Who will be his successor, and what will their game plan be? The likely candidates want to drop an atom bomb on the West Coast in a move that they think will deliver them control of the whole of North America. Meanwhile, a few plucky fighters in an underground resistance movement seek out mysterious film reels that show the world as we know it - the Axis powers losing WW2. But what do these films mean? And who is 'The Man in the High Castle?'...
