A grizzly bear attack; a bridge collapse; a plane crash... It can happen anywhere at any time, in an instant, life can change forever and that moment will define who you are. In an Instant re-tells first-person accounts of harrowing tales of survival using dramatizations of the moment before and after the victim's life was forever changed.
Episodes could have easily been just an hour. Two hours is just a little bit long for this type of show. Production values were pretty good, acting was average or slightly better.
