Although the project isn't ready yet, Sam hops into the Accelerator and leaps. As Tom Stratton, an Air Force test pilot, Sam finds his memory Swiss cheesed, with only enough left to know that he is not where or when he belongs. Al explains that the project has gone "a little ca-ca" and that the only way Sam can leap out is by flying the X-2 to Mach 3. Instead, Sam leaps after saving Tom's life, wife and child, only to find that rather than leaping home, he's leapt into Tim Fox, a minor league baseball player in Texas, at the end of the 1968 season, where he must make the winning play in order to leap. Doctor Sam Beckett led a group of top scientists into the desert to research his theory that a man could time travel within his own lifetime. Unfortunately, in order to save his funding, he was forced to enter the accelerator prematurely and vanished. He then found himself in someone else's body with partial amnesia. His only contact from home is Al, a holographic image only he can see and hear. Setting right things which once went wrong, Sam leaps from life to life, hoping each time that this is the final leap home. I LOVED this programme, I was obsessed with it when it came out….am still obsessed…They HAVE to make a Movie of this, if only to clear up some of the some of the questions that Mirror Image left, like (HERE'S THE SPOILER!)what happened to Sam if he never got home…which is perhaps the saddest ending to anything, ever….incidentally, has anyone seen the episode 'Southern Comforts'? I'm starting to think it doesn't really exist… I watched the show nonstop for the entire time. I was very young when I started watching it and I couldn't wait to the see the next episodes to see what deal Sam was in. The acting was awesome and touching. I love the relationship between the two best friends. The show made me laugh along with Al and Sam and it made me cry with them too! Especially "MIA" and "Mirror Image"! It was a few years after the show ended that I really terribly missed it. Now, I watch it on Sci-fi channel. It brings back memories. It still makes me cry and laugh. I terribly felt for Al when he felt that all the women in his life abandoned him and Sam… when he desperately wanted to go home. I won't spoil how the whole series end but it was a great show, probably the best ever and it had everything, comedy, drama, mystery, horror, suspense, action, science fiction, fantasy, the list goes on. I'll never forge Sam and Al.
