Oceanic Flight 815 out of Sydney, Australia is mysteriously brought down out of the sky.
After crashing on an uncharted island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean the survivors quickly learn
they must band together in order to have any hope of rescue because the island is treacherous and holds many secrets.

and how their lives are intertwined.

Lost is an American serial drama television series that follows the lives of plane crash survivors
on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles,
United States crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode typically features a primary storyline
on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a character's life. The show was created
by Damon Lindelof, J. J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber, and is filmed primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii.
The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004. Since then, three seasons have aired, with
a fourth season currently being aired. The show is produced by ABC Studios, Bad Robot Productions
and Grass Skirt Productions and airs on the ABC Network in the United States. Its soundtrack is composed
by Michael Giacchino. The current executive producers are Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender
and Carlton Cuse. Because of its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming in Hawaii, the series is
one of the most expensive on television.
A critical and popular success, Lost (often written entirely in capital letters) garnered an average of 16 million
viewers per episode on ABC during its first year, and won numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award
for Outstanding Drama Series in 2005, Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards in 2005,
the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006 and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble
in a Drama Series. Reflecting its devoted fan base, the show has become a part of American popular culture
with references to the story and its elements appearing in other television shows, commercials, comic books,
webcomics, humor magazines, a video game and song lyrics.
The show's fictional universe has also been explored through tie-in novels, board and video games,
and alternative reality games, .In May 2007, it was announced that Lost would continue for its fourth, fifth,
and sixth seasons, concluding with the 117th produced episode in May 2010. These three final seasons
were planned to consist of 16 episodes each, running weekly in the spring uninterrupted by repeats, though
the recent WGA strike has called this exact episode count into question. The fourth season premiered
in the United States on January 31, 2008.
