"The Plot Against America" is a six-part miniseries based on the novel of the same name by Philip Roth. The series was created by David Simon and Ed Burns and aired on HBO in March 2020.
The series is set in an alternate history where Charles Lindbergh, a famous aviator and isolationist, becomes president of the United States in 1940, defeating Franklin D. Roosevelt in the presidential election. Lindbergh's presidency leads to the country taking a turn towards fascism, and the series follows the experiences of a Jewish family living in Newark, New Jersey, as they face the consequences of this shift in power.
The series explores themes of anti-Semitism, xenophobia, and the erosion of democracy. It has been praised for its powerful performances, strong writing, and timely relevance in the current political climate. The series also received multiple Emmy nominations, including for Outstanding Limited Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for Mark Ruffalo's performance as the patriarch of the Jewish family.
