VAL KILMER IS THE VOICE OF KITT

The iconic 1980s television classic, KNIGHT RIDER, comes roaring back to life as a reinvented, updated and super-charged action series showcasing the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand).

Absolutely the coolest car ever created, KITT is equipped with an artificial intelligence that is capable of hacking almost any system.

Sarah Graimen is a 24-year old Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University, following in her genius father Charles’ footsteps. But when men attempt to abduct her, Sarah receives a mysterious call from KITT warning her that he’s a creation of Charles’, who also invented the first KITT 25 years ago - and that her father is in serious danger.

Sarah and KITT track down her best friend from childhood, Mike Tracer, a 23-year-old ex-Army Ranger, whom Sarah hasn’t seen since he left home at 18. Having served in Iraq, Mike is now jaded and lost and initially resistant. Eventually he agrees to help Sarah and the two set out to find Charles and to discover who’s behind the attempt to procure KITT. Along the way, Carrie Rivai, an agile yet tough FBI agent who has a long-standing friendship with Charles and Sarah, is brought into the mix to help with the search.

KNIGHT RIDER stars JUSTIN BRUENING as Mike Tracer, DEANNA RUSSO as Sarah Graimen, SYDNEY TAMIIA POITIER as Carrie Rivai and BRUCE DAVISON as Charles, with VAL KILMER as the voice of KITT.

David Bartis (The O.C.), Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Identity) and Gary Scott Thompson (Las Vegas, The Fast and The Furious) are executive producers.

On bloody GF night? Too hammered to set the recorder, missed it completely. One of my favourites as a kid, along with Hardcastle and McCormick! BJ & The Bear was another corker.
