The Six Million Dollar Man was based on the book by Martin Caidin, and with but a few minor changes was first broadcast as a made-for-TV movie in the mid 70's. Steve Austin (Lee Majors) an astronaut who crashed during an experimental aircraft test is a man barely alive and clinging to life. At that point the government decided to use secret funding for a secret bionics project to create the next generation of covert operative - an agent with bionic limbs that give him superhuman strength and enable him to run speeds beyond 60 miles per hour, along with a bionic eye that allows him to see details over a mile away. Col Austin awakens after this almost fatal crash to find that he now processes integrated bionic technology. For his second chance at life he is coerced into taking on specialized missions for the OSO (Office of Strategic Operations). (Fabulous Films)
