Another Roddenberry pilot, this version of Dylan Hunt (Alex Cord) wakes up after an extended nap in suspended animation (Late 1970's to 2133) to find himself in a post-apocalyptic world minus the ruins and fallout. He is discovered and revived by an organization called Pax, who live underground and enjoy the benefits of modern/future science. Above ground, things aren't quite as rosy. As one would expect, he starts to nose around no-so-rosy-land and quickly learns that he might have been better off in his suspended animation chamber. The film also features Mariette Hartley, Majel Barrett, and Tim Cassidy. Planet Earth, another Roddenberry project, came out a year later with a rather similar premise. Still, this isn't a bad film, despite the questions that might occur to the viewer.
