Last Resort is a television drama series that aired in 2012. The show centers on the crew of the U.S. ballistic missile submarine Colorado, who face an extraordinary situation when they refuse to carry out orders to fire nuclear weapons at Pakistan. Without receiving proper confirmation of the launch commands, the submarine crew questions the legitimacy of the orders and chooses not to comply. This act of defiance leads to severe consequences as the crew finds themselves being fired upon by their own military forces. The situation escalates rapidly when the submarine and its crew are declared rogue enemies by their own government. The series explores the tension and moral dilemmas faced by military personnel when ordered to carry out potentially catastrophic actions without proper verification. The crew must navigate their loyalty to country against their duty to prevent nuclear warfare, all while being hunted by the very forces they once served alongside.
