Executive producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman join forces with Benjamin Bratt and Dennis Hopper to give the inside story of the country's ultimate fortress: the Pentagon. "E-Ring" stars Bratt
("Catwoman," "Law & Order," "The Woodsman," "Traffic"), Hopper ("Blue Velvet," "Easy Rider," "Speed," "True Romance") and Aunjanue Ellis ("Ray," "Undercover Brother," "Jonny Zero"). From Jerry Bruckheimer Television in association with Warner Bros. Television Production Inc., "E-Ring" airs Wednesdays (9:00 - 10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on the NBC Television Network.
In this hub of highly explosive conflicts between military heroes and the civilians to whom they report, situations can escalate into life-and-death crises--for individuals as well as for entire countries. Whether critical decisions are being made by intelligence officers in the war room or those orders are being executed by covert special ops on the battlefield, the number one mission remains the survival of the nation.
Under the command of Colonel Eli McNulty (Hopper), irreverent and resourceful U.S. Army Major Jim "JT" Tisnewski (Bratt) and no-nonsense Marine Master Sergeant Jocelyn Pierce (Ellis) strike an often delicate balance between securing the homeland, protecting the rest of the world and even ensuring the safety of a lone soldier.
"E-Ring" is inspired by the true experiences of Ken Robinson, a CNN military intelligence analyst. The series was created by David McKenna ("S.W.A.T.," "Blow," "Get Carter," "American History X") and Robinson. Jerry Bruckheimer ("Cold Case," "Without a Trace," "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, three "CSI" series), Jonathan Littman ("Cold Case," "Without a Trace," three "CSI" series) and McKenna are the executive producers.
