"The Six Million Dollar Man" science fiction television series aired from 1974 to 1978. Steve Austin, a former astronaut portrayed by Lee Majors, who becomes a cyborg with bionic implants after a near-fatal accident. The U.S. government invests six million dollars in rebuilding Austin, giving him enhanced strength, speed, and other superhuman abilities. As a secret agent for the OSI (Office of Scientific Intelligence), Austin uses his bionic powers to undertake missions, fight threats to national security, and tackle various adversaries.
FUN FACTS:
-The series was inspired by the novel "Cyborg" written by Martin Caidin.

-Steve Austin faced recurring adversaries, with the most notable being the bionic Bigfoot (played by Andre the Giant) and the evil bionic scientist Dr. Rudy Wells, who was originally Steve's creator and mentor.
