The episode that started the run of one of 2004-2005's most watched and critically acclaimed series is presented her in its full, unedited form. Created by successful television producer J.J. Abrams (FELICITY, ALIAS), LOST attracted a huge following and was proclaimed the saving grace of a television year otherwise marred by derivative reality programming. The story concerns the survivors of a terrible plane crash, who find themselves stranded on a tropical island with seemingly little chance of a rescue. Medical doctor Jack takes a position of leadership, helping to rally the survivors and prepare them for a period of difficulty as they learn how to survive on the paradisiacal island. But everything is not as it seems, as the island offers potential danger in the form of a large, mysterious creature, and evidence is found that the plane crash may not have been an accident. As they struggle to survive, each of the characters forms alliances and makes enemies, all while dealing with the unresolved issues of the lives they've left behind. The "Pilot" episode unfolds like a self-contained movie drama, beginning when Jack, unaware of who he is, finds himself injured on a strange island. Upon finding the wreckage of the plane crash that led him to his fate, he allies with the other survivors and together they begin to both make a life for themselves on the island and attempt to find a way back to their former existences.
