Prime Video has brought the apocalyptic world of “Fallout” to life in new first look images for the video game franchise’s live-action television adaptation.
“Fallout” tells the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.
