Based on Mark Bowden's (Blackhawk Down) bestseller, this program explores the life and death of cocaine king Pablo Escobar.

"Riveting to watch..."
- The Christian Science Monitor

"...makes fiction portrayals of the drug underworld look almost silly..."
- L.A. Times

"A fascinating History Channel effort..."
- The Philadelphia Inquirer

He built a billion-dollar empire on America's unquenchable hunger for cocaine. He flaunted his wealth with a lifestyle fit for a king and defied--and terrorized--the Columbian government for years, destroying anyone or anything in his way. But it all ended on a rooftop in Medellin, when Pablo Escobar, Columbia's cocaine king, was shot on December 2, 1993.

Based on Killing Pablo the latest non-fiction bestseller from author Mark Bowden (Blackhawk Down), this exposé illuminates the pivotal moments of Escobar's life and criminal career, with Bowden himself providing expert guidance. Joining the author are a host of insiders and officials who were close to the case, including Columbian Vice President Francisco Santos, retired Columbia Police General Hugo Aguilar and DEA agents Javier Pena and Stephen Murphy.

Take a dark tour through the life and death of the criminal kingpin who inspired the largest manhunt in history and earned the direct opposition and enmity of the most powerful nation on earth.
