You think you know who you are. You have no idea.

Crash Aired From October 17, 2008 - December 18, 2009 On Starz.

PLOT:
Inspired by the Academy Award-winning Best Motion Picture of 2006 of the same name, Crash explores the complexities of social and racial tolerance and the meaning of the American dream through characters whose lives intersect and collide as they strive to achieve that dream in Los Angeles California.

As the pay cable channel's first foray into an hourlong scripted drama, the 13-episode series hopes to snag viewers with as much surprise, conflict and political incorrectness as the original. In fact, the feature film, directed by Paul Haggis, was originally conceived as a television series.

A highlight from the upcoming TV series: actor Dennis Hopper as aging wild man Ben Cendars, a once-successful hip-hop music producer struggling to retrieve his top-dog status.

Angelenos inspired most of the disparate characters: Cendars and his black, streetwise limo driver, a former Korean American gang member trying to make it as an emergency medical technician, a frustrated Brentwood mom and her developer husband and a variety of misbehaving cops.

In the television version, Los Angeles becomes less of an allegory and more a simple elucidation of the raw power it exerts over its residents -- for better or worse.

"A lot of living in Los Angeles is a hustle," Mazzara said. "There's a tremendous amount of success and optimism. 'If I work hard, make the right connections and I put in the right time, I can get what I want.' It may or may not be true, but people believe that."
