Fortune Hunter (TV series)
Fortune Hunter is an American action-adventure drama series that aired on Fox in the United States from September 4 to October 2, 1994, starring Mark Frankel as spy Carlton Dial.
Of the 13 episodes produced, only five were broadcast in the US, though the series aired in its entirety in other countries. The decision to have the series air immediately after Fox NFL Sunday was a factor in the dismissal of Sandy Grushow, president of Fox Entertainment, by chairman Rupert Murdoch.
Plot
The series follows the adventures of Carlton Dial, an ex-government agent who now works for the Intercept Corporation, a high-tech global recovery organization based in San Francisco, with his tech-savvy partner, Harry Flack. Dial's assignments take him to exotic locales and into danger to recover sought-after items–such as classified information, complex weapons systems, and endangered species, which have fallen into the wrong hands–for a fee. He takes his assignments seriously, as he is determined to keep his perfect success record intact. On these assignments, he utilizes technology such as a special contact lens that he wears, which features a built-in camera and electronic earpiece. It allows Harry, who is linked to him by computer, to see and hear everything he does and communicate with him from the Corporation's home office and relay information.Cast
