In a dystopian future where a community lives in a giant silo extending 144 floors underground, 10,000 people live in a society bound by rules they believe are meant to protect them. The citizens live in a self-contained, aging underground city because the outside is dangerous and polluted. In the massive underground bunker called the "Silo," our community thrives without knowing its history as records were supposedly destroyed 140 years prior during a failed uprising. Sheriff Holston Becker (David Oyelowo) tells Deputy Sam Marnes (Will Patton) that he wants to "get out." Three years earlier, Holston and his wife Allison (Rashida Jones) are given permission by their doctor to remove her birth control implant for 365 days. During this time, Allison learns subversive beliefs about Silo from fertility expert Gloria Hildebrandt (Sophie Thompson), and helps computer expert George Wilkins (Ferdinand Kingsley) explore a forbidden hard drive from before the rebellion. Allison tells a skeptical Holston that those in power are lying to them and that the vision of a dead outside world on Silo's screens may be false, but the truth will come out. Later, the hard drive that uncovers a strange truth ends up in the possession of engineer Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson).....
