STRANDED ON A DESERTED ISLAND, 48 SURVIVORS OF A PLANE CRASH MUST FIND THE STRENGTH TO WORK TOGETHER IF THEY ARE TO STAY ALIVE - BUT THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND HOLDS MANY SECRETS WHICH COULD PROVE FATAL TO THE BAND OF CASTAWAYS, ON A SPECIAL TWO-HOUR BROADCAST OF "LOST," WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22 ON ABC

"Pilot, Parts 1 & 2" -- After Oceanic flight 815 crash lands, the 48 survivors find themselves on an island of harsh terrain, cruel weather and dark secrets, including a frightful creature that stalks the jungle. Strangers all, even those related by blood, the survivors' pasts - their ethics, religions, politics and attitudes - threaten to jeopardize the group's ability to endure. However, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, the group has hope for survival and rescue. Meanwhile, the discovery of a transceiver among the plane's wreckage and the thought that rescue could be imminent temporarily raises the castaways' spirits. Still, the island's mysteries continue to baffle, with the discovery of handcuffs, a gun and an animal that shouldn't be able to survive in a tropical climate, on "Lost," WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network (Rebroadcast.
