Based on Philip Roth's 2004 novel of the same name, the drama is set in an alternate American history and told through a working-class Jewish family in Newark, New Jersey, in a world where Franklin D. Roosevelt is defeated in the 1940 presidential election by Charles Lindbergh, and aviator-hero and xenophobic populist, who takes the U.S. down the scary road to fascism.
These star spangled series launch billboards for The Plot Against America were snapped along Sunset Boulevard, Fairfax Avenue, Olympic Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard from February 25 to February 27, 2020.
For more Stars and Stripes ad creatives, make sure you also check out these Under the Gun billboards, these movie billboards for The Purge: Anarchy, these House of Cards billboards and these 13th documentary billboards, to name but a few examples.
Meanwhile for another alternate history tale where the Axis Powers of Germany and Japan won World War II, you can take a look at these billboards for The Man in the High Castle.
These days with hatred, xenophobia, antisemitism, white supremacy, racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia and transphobia being stoked by those in government, America seems to be shifting further from its values of freedom, liberty and justice for all.
Let's hope we don't soon find ourselves living in an alternate world where the rules are written by those in power to only favour themselves, their family and their corrupt cronies.
UPDATED: Here's also an Emmy consideration billboard for the HBO series, spotted above Westwood Boulevard on June 21, 2020.
