Exclusive Look: 'Halt and Catch Fire's "Adventure"

by Anna Klassen

The fifth episode of AMC's drama Halt and Catch Fire is fast approaching, and we're a bit worried for our three leads. During last week's "Close to the Metal" we saw Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis), the sassy and struggling computer programer lose all of her hard-earned coding thanks to a manipulative Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace). In past episodes we've seen Joe use other motives, sex included, to get what he wants, and there seems to be no end to how far the character is willing to go to gain the upper hand.

Set Texas during the 1980s, the AMC series follows "the personal computing boom through the eyes of a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy whose innovations directly confront the corporate behemoths of the time. Their personal and professional partnership will be challenged by greed and ego while charting the changing culture in Texas' Silicon Prairie."

Sunday's "Adventure" will have Cameron clashing with a new manager as Joe and Gordon attempt to gain a key piece of technology for the computer. Intrigued? "Adventure" premieres June 29 on AMC at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Take a look at an exclusive image from the episode below.
