Shot in Finland and the US in English and Finnish languages, it represents the first dramatic account of Finnish electronics company Nokia's rise from a small business to becoming a global success in the mobile phone industry, beating huge established brands. The first season is set in the years 1988-1990, when the technology for mobile phones was just starting to be developed. In particular, it will focus on the young and resourceful lawyers willing to take on their counterparts at deep pocketed multinational competitors; the brilliant, single-minded engineers developing revolutionary new products, boardroom plots and personal feuds; and a business leader whose courage saved the entire company following the tragic death of his predecessor. The drama is based on years of research and interviews with those involved at the heart of the firm’s history.
