Quantum Leap

DramaSci-Fi45 min per episode

After a time-travel experiment goes wrong, Scott Bakula is Dr. Sam Beckett, a physicist stranded in the past and dropped into other people’s lives somewhere within his own lifetime. Each leap leaves Sam staring at a mirror image that isn’t his own, with Dean Stockwell’s Al — a holographic observer from Sam’s future — as his only guide. From one moment in history to the next, Sam has to put right what went wrong before he can move on, never knowing who he’ll become next or whether the next jump might finally take him home.
