    Knight Rider...

    A shadowy flight into a dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

    Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

    Great television show for it's time, quite campy during a recent DVD viewing, but still entertaining.
