Grievously injured in a 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 (Lee Majors) 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 (Richard Anderson), Steve repays his debt to the taxpayers by taking on perilous missions of a highly classified nature.
Familiar faces and exciting new foes dominate SEASON 3 of The Six Million Dollar Man. Back from the dead is Jaime Sommers (Lindsay Wagner), who can't remember her bionic soul mate. Emotions frayed, Steve keeps busy by retrieving the Liberty Bell and a feral child raised by wolves. Later, Austin goes toe-to-big-toe with the legendary Bigfoot in a clash for the ages.
