The Knockturnal got the chance to speak to the cast of HBO Max’s The Tourist.
Jamie Dornan (A Private War, The Fall, Wild Mountain Thyme) stars in this gripping drama series as a man desperately searching for his identity in the glowing red heart of the Australian outback.
In the Australian outback, the shoes kicks off with “The Man” stopping to refuel his car at the gas station. As he pulls away, he realizes he’s being pursued. He can’t see who it is. All he can see is the vast tank truck bearing down at him. Trying to drive him off the road. The epic cat and mouse chase ends with the man tumbling off a ridge in his car. When he wakes from his accident, he’s in hospital. Somehow, he’s alive. Except he can’t remember anything about his life, or who he is.
Not long after is when we meet local beat cop Helen, an earnest and eager to please woman locked in a constant battle with her weight and her own self-confidence. She’s sent to check in on The Man and though there are no clues about his identity she promises to help figure out who he is. It’s not her job, but she can’t help herself but be intrigued by this lost soul. Much to the frustration of quietly controlling fiancée.
As The Man starts to uncover the mystery of who he was, he’s also forced to ask who he is now. Is the loss of his memory a chance to forge a new identity or is he doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past?
THE TOURIST premieres with all six episodes March 3 on HBO Max.
