TV-14Season 5
All roads lead to hell.
Synopsis
Hell on Wheels (2011), Season 5 is AMC's western drama you can watch online on iFILM — fourteen episodes that carry the railroad saga to its end.
Cullen Bohannon has moved west, to the Central Pacific's headquarters in Truckee, California. The job now is rock. His crews bore through the Sierra Nevada, some days gaining only inches, and his workforce is thousands of Chinese laborers whose language and customs he barely knows. Among them is Mei, hiding in plain sight as a young man named Fong. A ruthless power broker called Chang turns the labor camp against him, the vengeful Swede closes in, and far to the east Durant's Union Pacific races toward the same meeting point. Two railroads, one golden spike, and only inches between them.
Creator Joe Gayton runs the series to the 1869 ceremony at Promontory and the reckoning that follows, without softening anyone. A fitting close for viewers who rode all five seasons with Cullen. Stream Hell on Wheels Season 5 online on iFILM.
