The Eighties
The 3rd installment in producers Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog, following in the footsteps of THE SEVENTIES along with critically-acclaimed series THE SIXTIES, tackles 10 years shaped by exceptionalism and excess. THE EIGHTIES intersperses interviews, rare archival footage, along with comments by historians, journalists, politicians, celebrities and others, painting a perspective-rich picture of a couple of years. Episodes inspect the age of Reagan, the AIDS catastrophe at the Cold War's close, Wall Street corruption, the most evolving television and music scene, and every thing in between.
