The Eighties
Following in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed series THE SIXTIES and THE SEVENTIES, the third edition of the series helmed by executive producers Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, and Mark Herzog takes a look back at a decade that was marked by exceptionality and extravagance. In the same vein as its two predecessors, THE EIGHTIES weaves together unique archival newsreel footage, interviews, and commentary from a wide range of individuals, including historians, journalists, politicians, celebrities, and others. The result is a picture that is rich in perspective and depicts a dynamic decade. The era of Ronald Reagan, the AIDS crisis, the end of the Cold War, Wall Street corruption, the ever-evolving television and music industry, and everything in between are all topics that are covered in individual episodes.
