Description: A biographical tale that follows Hollywood revolutionary Rod Serling's rise to fame in the Golden Age of Television and his descent into his own personal Twilight Zone. We recognise him as our sharply dressed cigarette - smoking tour guide of The Twilight Zone but the entertainment business once regarded him as the Angry Young Man of Television. Before he became the revered master of science fiction Rod Serling was just a writer who had to fight to make his voice heard. He vehemently challenged the networks and viewership alike to expand their minds and standards rejecting notions of censorship racism and war. But it wasn t until he began to write about real world enemies in the guise of aliens and monsters that people lent their ears. In doing so he pushed the television industry to the edge of glory and himself to the edge of sanity. Rod operated in a dimension beyond that of contemporary society making him both a revolutionary and an outsider.
