The Greatest American Hero is a unique comedy-adventure series about a normal schoolteacher who becomes endowed with superhuman powers when aliens giv…
School teacher Ralph Hinkley meets FBI agent Bill Maxwell on a field trip to the desert, where they are met by a UFO that gives them a mission and a red costume with amazing powers; the new team must then use those powers to thwart a conspiracy.
A mobster that Ralph and Bill put in jail is out on parole, and is seeking revenge (he knows about the suit, but everyone thinks he's crazy). He has his girlfriend pretend to be willing to be an informant against him, but only if Bill takes her in to court.
Hinkley's plans to spend time with Pam's parents who are visiting from Minnesota are thwarted when he is called upon to defend his country's national security.
Maxwell and Hinkley discover that they are in the midst of international affairs that could gravely affect the world.
Ralph and Pam's plans (all of them) take a back seat when Rhonda's Mom Rose is kidnapped, opening the door to a Soviet operation to steal U.S. secrets.
Ralph retires the suit after his super-heroics result in a near-tragedy. Bill desperately needs Ralph to help him crack a corrupt cop caper masterminded by a war buddy. Can the Lone Ranger remind Ralph of a hero's great responsibility?
