Description

The Hero is an American reality competition television series created by Rick Ringbakk and hosted by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in which contestants are tested physically, mentally and morally for the title of "hero" and a monetary prize, with the winner being decided by a public vote.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson headlines this epic competition series that brings nine ordinary people together and assign them various missions testing their brains, their brawn and even their morality.

The show challenges the competitors to prove they've got what it takes to be heroes, pushing them to the limits to see what they are willing - and able - to overcome, undergo, or sacrifice for the sake of their fellow contestants.

Through the show's unique interactive digital platform, viewers are polled each week to determine the contestant they consider to be the most heroic.

The competition then climaxes with viewers voting to determine who deserves the grand prize and the title of "The Hero."

The Hero is executive-produced by Electus (Ben Silverman, Chris Grant and Jimmy Fox); 5x5 Media (part of the Electus studio system led by Craig Armstrong and Rick Ringbakk); Charles Wachter; Dwayne Johnson; and Dany Garcia.

The series was created by Armstrong and Ringbakk of the Emmy-winning 5x5 Media (Survivor, Fashion Star, King of the Nerds), along with Wachter (Fashion Star, Food Revolution) and Electus' Silverman (Fashion Star, The Biggest Loser, The Office).
