Synopsis: From Emmy nominated writer
Nick Thiel ("Magnum P.I") and producer Mark Gordon ("Saving Private Ryan,"
"Speed") comes NBC’s new drama series "LAX," which explores the behind-the-scenes
dramas and conflicts of both travelers and staff transpiring daily at
the bustling Los Angeles International Airport.
Television favorite Heather Locklear ("Spin City") stars as Harley Random,
an ambitious, take-charge runway chief based at LAX – the 5th busiest
airport in the world. Harley is frequently confronted by her rival, terminal
boss Roger (Blair Underwood, "Sex and the City"), as each jockeys to be
named the new director of the airport while working together to solve
everything from bomb scares, to VIP arrivals, drunken pilots and roaming
pets -- all beneath the din of a frantic "hub" with spokes that touch
all corners of the world.
Rounding out this group of airport staff are Tony (Paul Leyden) the suave
Airline Passenger Coordinator, who does his best to sooth frazzled nerves;
Customs Agent Betty (Wendy Hoopes), who along with Immigration Officer
Nick (David Paetkau) and LAPD Officer Henry Engels (Frank John Hughes)
help keep the airport safe in an increasingly complicated world.
