Beirut centers on Mason Skiles (Jon Hamm), a disillusioned former U.S. diplomat who returns to Beirut during the 1982 Lebanon war to help a friend escape a political trap. Cut between flashpoint streets and smoky backroom diplomacy, the mission pulls him into dangerous games between the CIA, local militias, and rival nations. As loyalties shift and a buried tragedy resurfaces, Skiles must weigh personal risk against a larger fight for peace.
