ABC has given a pilot order to Last Resort, an ambitious drama from The Shield creator Shawn Ryan and movie writer Karl Gajdusek.

The Set-up: Last Resort is a thriller set in the near future when the country is very splintered and centers on the crew of a U.S. nuclear submarine who become hunted fugitives after ignoring an order to fire nuclear missiles. They escape to a NATO listening outpost where they publicly declare themselves to be the world’s smallest nuclear nation with 24 nuclear warheads. The show explores the society the fugitives create, the natives they meet and how what they’ve done affects the group and its unity.

Casino Royale helmer Martin Campbell is already onboard to direct the pilot.
