Rabbit Hole plot
Rabbit Hole follows private espionage operator John Weir (Kiefer Sutherland), who makes his money helping wealthy clients manipulate people and situations to influence financial markets and control populations. However, when a seemingly straightforward job goes unexpectedly wrong and Weir is framed for the murder of treasury department investigator Edward Homm (Rob Yang), he ends up on the run and increasingly paranoid. What follows is a tense battle for democracy as Weir begins to unravel a dangerous plot by powerful forces, who are mining data in order to control worldwide populations. But he has to navigate surveillance, deception and misinformation, all tools he used as an espionage operator, in order to bring them down.
The first episode of Rabbit Hole is packed with top TV drama, including a wonderfully choreographed espionage sting, a dramatic explosion, two murders and an unexpected plot twist.
Rabbit Hole cast — Kiefer Sutherland on playing John Weir
Rabbit Hole's lead actor Kiefer Sutherland says: "Corporate espionage is a world most of us don’t know about. ‘The idea of being able to be a part of a show that’s examining that in a real and entertaining way was very exciting. And to be able to play a character who’s using it to manipulate other people and have it finally be turned on him, you can't ask for more as an actor.
"The character was as interesting to me as the overall idea. It’s that perfect storm of technology and people not working for not the greater good but for themselves, as well as the great primal fear that the person in charge of knowing all the secrets is somehow having these secrets used against him!"
"Filming Rabbit Hole was as great an experience as I’ve ever had. One of my favorite moments when we were shooting, I wasn't actually in the scene. But I’d come in to have a conversation with the director and I walked in, and Meta knocks out seven guys in a row in rehearsal and looks back and goes, oh that was fun! I think the physicality helped all of us in our roles. In many ways, that brought us together"
* Kiefer Sutherland, 56, will always be synonymous with his role as Jack Bauer in the smash hit 24, which ran from 2001 to 2010, and playing a fictional US president in Netflix series Designated Survivor. He played vampire David in the cult film Lost Boys as well as Lt. Jonathan Kendrick in A Few Good Men.
