00:00Everyone circle up!

00:02We have a downed plane big enough to see about 100 detainees.

00:05These are federal inmates.

00:07Armed, violent, and dangerous.

00:09Stay safe until the cavalry gets there.

00:14Honey, we are the cavalry.

00:17The Last Frontier is a love letter to action films of the 90s.

00:21It's character-driven with a lot of action.

00:24Come on, Ethan.

00:28What?

00:29The discovery of this airplane felt like the perfect place to do a one-er here.

00:32The idea was to feel overwhelmed with Frank

00:35when he realizes the severity of the situation in which he finds himself.

00:39The idea of doing a six-minute one-take, it's a lot to pull that all off.

00:44The challenge with a one-er is you don't get to cut.

00:47You need to work out the acting and dramatic beats within the frame.

00:51We just used one camera because it had to move in 180 degrees.

00:55Moving to get to a close-up at the right time

00:57to feel the expression of the actor,

00:59backing up to a wider shot to capture the spectacle of the action.

01:03It's a collaborative process where you let somebody like Sam run with the idea.

01:08Hey, what's that?

01:09Three, two, one.

01:17That was good. Yeah, that was our best one.

01:18We could move on, but we're not going to.

01:21It was really fun to use creative problem-solving and creative storytelling.

01:26We try to up the bar, the action from day one.

01:30Everything has to be story-driven, organic,

01:32and then let the action take us on a journey.

01:35Where are you headed to?

01:36I need this party start.

01:38Each episode is sort of a different action movie,

01:40all working toward one unexpected resolution.

01:43It's down and dirty.

01:44It's a gritty, wild experience.

01:47Do whatever it takes to secure the perimeter. Can you do that?

01:50This is Alaska.

01:51There is no perimeter.
