In a post-apocalyptic world, humanity lives in small settlements whose main activity is to produce electricity.

À Los Angeles, Howard Payne, terroriste psychopathe, prend en otage un ascenseur dans un immeuble d'affaires en échange d'une rançon. Deux inspecteurs, Jack Traven et Harry Temple, parviennent à déjouer les plans du terroriste et à libérer les otages. Quelque temps plus tard, Payne est bien décidé à prendre sa revanche. Il récidive en posant une bombe sous un bus qui explosera si celui-ci roule à moins de 80 km/h.

The history of American slavery from its beginnings in the British colonies to its end in the Southern states and the years of post-Civil War Reconstruction. Looks at slavery as an integral part of a developing nation, challenging the long held notion that slavery was exclusively a Southern enterprise. Simultaneously focuses on the remarkable stories of individual slaves, offering new perspectives on the slave experience and testifying to the active role that Africans and African Americans took in surviving their bondage and shaping their own lives.
