Genre: TV Series. Adventure. Mystery. Drama. Fantasy | Survival Film. Disaster Film. Time Travel. Planes
Movie Groups: Lost
Synopsis: TV Series (2004-2010). 6 Seasons. 121 Episodes. 48 survivors fight to stay alive on a tropical island with a malicious mind of its own, after their plane mysteriously tears apart over it. When a plane crash leaves 48 survivors on a remote Pacific island, a fight for survival begins in what appears to be a tropical paradise.

From a faded rock star to a Korean couple who don't speak any English, the motley group band together under the leadership of quick-thinking Jack and pragmatic Kate in a battle against the elements.

But they soon realise that it's no ordinary island that they've landed on. With oddly temperamental weather, malicious forces that play the survivors to the island's own mysterious purposes, and a strange ecology that allows polar bears to survive in its tropical climate, the island has an inscrutable mind of its own.

And when members of the motley group start to see spectres of long dead people and bizarre creatures, a deep, dark terror starts to grow and spread throughout the community.

Even as the survivors’ shocking secrets start to emerge, they realise they have no choice but to put aside conflicting views and rally together – or die.

Created by J.J. Abrams (Alias, Felicity) and Damon Lindelof (Crossing Jordan), Lost brings the best and worst of people to the screens. With its gritty mix of spine-chilling suspense and intense human conflict, the show has consistently topped network viewership in its prime time hour in the U.S.

The pilot episode was the most expensive pilot ever in the history of the US television.

Critics' reviews

"Let 'Lost' remind you of how spectacular scripted network programming can be. Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"The show is crazy, man (...) and I mean that in the best possible way"

Mary McNamara: Los Angeles Times
"'Lost' is a different genre, one that may infuriate even the loyalists, but there's something impressive and rewarding in its density"

Tim Goodman: SFGATE
"Show figures to open reasonably well (...) [It] does a nice job layering on the tension"

Brian Lowry: Variety
"You can either let this annoy you, or you can try to work out the meaning, or you can just enjoy the flow in a noncommittal way that does not preclude your being stimulated, shocked or held in suspense"

Robert Lloyd: Los Angeles Times
"[The creators] neglect to provide a believably textured world, or any time for the characters to interact between crises. As a result, 'Lost' is at once heart-stopping and strangely dull."

Dana Stevens: Slate
"Abrams and Lindelof have created one of only two new shows this season at the end of which I was yearning to see a second hour right away."

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
