Harsh Realm introduces a world where reality and fantasy overlap. Platoon meets The Matrix in this action-packed military virtual reality series from Chris Carter (the creator of The X-Files).

After seeing the horrors of war in Sarajevo, Lt. Thomas F. Hobbes (Scott Bairstow) is ready to settle down into domesticity with his fiancée, Sophie Green (Samantha Mathis).  However, the military has one last assignment for him, which takes him into Harsh Realm, a virtual reality wargame created by the armed forces for combat training.

Once attached to the machine and installed inside Harsh Realm, Hobbes’ body remains in a coma but his mind lives on in the VR world.  He soon finds himself fighting for his life whilst struggling to understand the rules of this hostile alternative reality.  He forms an alliance with the reluctant Mike Pinocchio (D.B. Sweeney), and they head out together to kill the evil military dictator, Omar Santiago (Terry O’Quinn), who rules the realm and is the highest scoring player in the real world.

Whilst fully embroiled inside the game, Hobbes is approached by a mysterious woman named Florence (Rachel Hayward) who believes him to be Harsh Realm's saviour.  She sees him as the person who will deliver the virtual characters from the oppressive reins of Santiago.  Realising that the only way to escape Harsh Realm is to beat Santiago, Hobbes must use any means necessary to flee the fantasy world and return home to his fiancée who the US Army have informed of his death.

Harsh Realm on DVD includes the complete season of 9 episodes. You can also immerse yourself even further into the world of Harsh Realm with 2 featurettes: “Inside Harsh Realm” and “Creating the Logo and Title Sequence”.  Creator of Harsh Realm, The X-Files and Millennium, Chris Carter adds a commentary to the pilot episode, as does the director Dan Sackham.
