Plot Synopsis

Narrated by NBC's Jeff Rossen, SPLIT SECOND DECISION features the true stories of people faced with life-altering decisions and mere seconds to make a choice. By combining real-life footage with first-person accounts, the series takes viewers through each harrowing step of a crisis and challenges them to make life-or-death judgments in real time. The audience is asked to choose one of three possible actions to take, and then an expert assessment of each outcome lets the audience know if they've made the right split second decision. In the series premiere, viewers are asked to decide what they would do when confronted with impossible-to-imagine scenarios such as: escaping a capsized ferry boat in the middle of the sea; staring down an armed intruder; desperately trying to avoid a swerving, impaired driver; navigating surging floodwaters; surviving a wild forest fire or the sudden explosion of batteries.
