Plot summary
A paramilitary group called Fortress is raiding military depots for automatic weapons and explosives, though its leader, Lyle Stenning, sits in prison. Oscar Goldman, head of the OSI, brings word of the renewed attacks to Steve Austin, who retired from the agency ten years ago and now runs a charter boat. Steve is also approached by Air Force instructors who want him to talk to his estranged son, Michael, a cadet pilot they consider reckless. Steve and Jaime Sommers, both bionically enhanced, have stayed out of touch for a decade because of the complicated history between them. Stenning, who was captured by Steve, wants the secrets of bionics for himself.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman (1987)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The bionic reunion began as an improvised scene between Richard Anderson and Lee Majors while the two vacationed together in 1986; Anderson then pitched it to Universal executive Sidney Sheinberg, and a chance meeting with NBC's Brandon Tartikoff got the movie sold to the network.
- NBC approved the film's unusually large $4.8 million budget because it doubled as a backdoor pilot for a series starring bionically enhanced Michael Austin, a former Air Force hot shot meant to ride the popularity of the 1986 film Top Gun.
