10/24/13
PERSON OF INTEREST stars JIM CAVIEZEL (The Thin Red Line), Emmy® winner MICHAEL EMERSON (Lost), Oscar® nominee TARAJI P. HENSON (Hustle & Flow) and KEVIN CHAPMAN (Mystic River) in a crime thriller about a presumed-dead former CIA agent, John Reese (Caviezel) who teams up with mysterious billionaire Harold Finch (Emerson) to prevent violent crimes with high-tech surveillance and their own brand of vigilante justice. Reese's special training in covert operations appeals to Finch, a software genius who invented a program, aka "The Machine," that can identify people soon to be involved in violent crimes. Tapping into ubiquitous surveillance feeds throughout the city, the two work outside of the law, combining Reese's black ops skills with Finch's technological prowess and unlimited wealth to unravel the mystery of the person of interest, and stop the crime before it happens. Reese's actions draw the attention of the NYPD, including by-the-book homicide detective Joss Carter (Henson).
