On May 5th, Anchor Bay Entertainment will release AMC's compelling drama Halt and Catch Fire: The Complete First Season on Blu-ray. The 3-disc set contains all 10 episodes of the series' first season, which presents a fictionalized account of the early days of the personal computer creation and the tech heads who would soon create a revolution. The set also includes bonus features that give a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the series.
Synopsis: Set roughly one year after IBM all but corners the market with the release of its first major product – the IBM PC, the series follows former IBM executive Joe MacMillan as he works to reverse engineer the flagship product of his former employer and force his current company, Cardiff Electric, into the personal computer race. MacMillan enlists the help of Gordon Clark, a once great engineer who dreams of creating a revolutionary product while trying to manage his initially unsupportive wife Donna, and Cameron Howe, a volatile prodigy who puts her future in jeopardy to join MacMillan's rogue PC project.
