Catch-22 follows the adventures and misadventures of a U.S. air squadron in Italy during World War II. Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a bombardier, whose frantic obsession every time he goes up on a mission is to come down alive. The real enemy for Yossarian and his rag-tag bunch of friends is the bureaucracy of the military, inverting logic at every turn. The pinnacle of this is Catch-22, a military by-law which states that if you fly your missions, you're crazy, and don't have to fly them; all you have to do is ask. But if you ask not to, then you're sane, and so you have to fly them. Based on the acclaimed Joseph Heller novel, Catch-22 is executive produced by Oscar and Golden Globe-winning actor George Clooney, Oscar-winning producer Grant Heslov, and Emmy nominated producer Richard Brown.
