The Six Million Dollar Man - Season 5

Season 5

Grievously injured in the crash of an experimental aircraft, Colonel Steve Austin's shattered body is covertly rebuilt via the miracle of modern science known as bionics. Equipped with atomic-powered limbs that make him "better, stronger, faster" than the average mortal, Austin can now run at speeds exceeding 60 miles per hour, overturn cars with ease, and spot an encroaching enemy from over a mile away. Under the watchful eye of OSI director Oscar Goldman, Steve repays his debt to the taxpayers by taking on perilous missions of a highly classified nature.

In part 1: the OSI agency loses one of its satellites, which crashes on a remote ocean island, and is now cracked and leaking neutron radiation which is negatively affecting the other-worldly humanoids that inhabit the island and electromagnetically cloak it in invisibility. A decision is made by the aliens to send Da Nay, a young alien woman, to the U.S. to find and bring back a serum that will boost the aliens' immunity and thus allow all the aliens to leave the island and survive with the human population. In part 2: Da Nay (Robin Mattson, who plays Heather Webber from the "General Hospital" soap opera) obtains the serum and returns to the island, where Steve Austin has found a way in past the protective barriers. Spoiler: Torg (Jared Martin, who plays Dusty Farlow on "Dallas:), one of the radiation-influenced young male aliens who feels a somewhat barbaric attraction to Da Nay, turns monstrously evil from the radiation, as do other exposed aliens. Steve Austin learns how to use the same radiation to reverse the process and restore the unity of the aliens. Steve and the satellite are recovered, and the alien race are once again kept secret and cloaked in invisibility.

When it's snowing hard up top on the summit of ‘The Coq', 1200 metres below its pounding rain in The Fraser Valley. Add to that, Canada's busiest trucking route to the West Coast, Highway 1 (Trans Canada Hwy), and you have the ‘Bermuda Triangle' of trucking. Police and highway maintenance crews depend on Highway Thru Hell's heavy rescue operators to respond at a moment's notice in the worst conditions. In between the winter storms, the teams ‘off road' skills are put to the test.

Highway Thru Hell is ultimately a series about man versus Mother Nature and the toughest men in the towing business being pushed to their breaking point.
