Kurzbeschreibung Airwolf ist der Name des schnellsten und bestbewaffneten Kampfhelikopters der Welt.

Episoden: Disc 1: 01 + 02 "Airwolf" (Pilot) Die CIA hat einen Hightech-Kampfhubschrauber bauen lassen: "Airwolf". Doch einer der Konstrukteure stiehlt die Wunderwaffe und setzt sich damit ins Ausland ab. Der CIA-Abteilungsleiter Archangel bittet das Fliegerass Huckleberry Hawke, den "Airwolf" zurückzuholen. Gemeinsam mit Dominic Santini macht sich Hawke ans Werk. Er stellt jedoch eine Bedingung: Die CIA soll helfen, seinen im Vietnamkrieg vermissten Bruder ausfindig zu machen... 03 "Ropers Plan" Hawke bekommt von Archangel den Auftrag, such undercover bei der Air Force einzuschleichen. Die CIA befürchtet, dass ein Pilot ein Hightech-Flugzeug an die Russen übergeben will. Als Hawke den Übeltäter jedoch ausfindig macht, stellt er fest, dass es sich bei dem Verräter um einen alten Bekannten handelt... 04 "Mit Speck fängt man Mäuse" Dominic soll einen Hubschrauber nach Mexiko überführen. Eigentlich ein Routineflug, aber ein Problem zwingt ihn zur Notlandung. War es Sabotage? Natürlich macht sich der "Airwolf" auf den Weg, um ihn zu helfen... Disc 2: 05 "Im Dunkel der Nacht" Hawke und Dominic steht ein heikle Mission bevor: Sie sollen einen Agenten und dessen Familie aus Russland herausholen, dessen Tarnung aufzufliegen droht. Um so viele Passagiere zu befördern, müssen die beiden allerdings auf die Bewaffnung des "Airwolf" verzichten... 06 "Der große Bluff" Hawke und Dominic sollen mit dem Hubschrauber einen waghalsigen Stunt für einen Film fliegen. Doch die Sache kommt ihnen merkwürdig vor. Archangel überprüft die Hintergründe und entdeckt, dass die Dreharbeiten nur Tarnung für einen Überfall sein sollen... 07 "Der falsche Bruder" Bei einem Routineflug verliert Hawke das Bewusstsein und stürzt ab. Als er wieder erwacht, erfährt er, dass er lange im Koma gelegen hat. Dominic und Archangel sollen bei dem Versuch, seinen Bruder zu retten, ums Leben gekommen sein. Der Bruder hingegen sei wohlauf. Doch irgendwas an der Geschichte ist faul... 08 "Von der Vergangenheit eingeholt" Sarah bittet das "Airwolf"-Team um Hilfe: Ihr Vater ist von dem Waffenhändler Helmut Kruger ermordet worden. Der Verbrecher ist in brisante Waffenprojekte verwickelt und hat sich in Paraguay verschanzt. Archangel ist jedoch gegen den Einsatz. Kann Sarah trotzdem auf die Hilfe der "Airwolf"-Crew zählen....? Disc 3: 09 "Wer zahlt schon doppeltes Lösegeld" Dominic lässt sich darauf ein, zwei Millionen Dollar Lösegeld an einen kubanischen Colonel zu überbringen, damit dieser politische Gefangene freilässt. Doch die Übergabe läuft schief und das Geld wird gestohlen. Jetzt kann nur noch Hawke seinem Freund helfen... 10 "Der Zweikampf" Die "Airwolf"-Crew erhält den Auftrag, den Präsidenten eines kleinen afrikanischen Landes zu beschützen und einen Putsch zu verhindern. Hawke trifft vor Ort einen ehemaligen Kameraden aus Vietnam, der möglicherweise Informationen über den Verbleib seines Bruders hat. Aber er zeigt sich nicht gerade kooperativ... 11 "Eine Kopie von Airwolf" Hawke erklärt sich bereit, beim Test eines "Airwolf"-Simulators zu helfen, der von Robert Winchester entwickelt wurde. Dieser war auch an der Entstehung des echten "Airwolf" beteiligt. Doch welche Rolle spielt seine undurchsichtige Assistentin, die sehr am "Airwolf" interessiert zu sein scheint...? 12 "Dem Wolf eine Falle stellen" Archangel warnt Hawke und Dominic vor dem Regierungsagenten Bogard, der mit einem neuen Aufklärungssatelliten den Standort des "Airwolfs" herausfinden will. Hawke macht sich sofort auf die Suche nach einem neuen Geheimversteck für "die Lady"... Movieman.de Die legendäre 80er-Jahre-Serie hat nicht nur unter Hubschraubermaniacs Freunde gefunden. |

While demonstrating the capabilities of the new prototype supercopter codenamed 'Airwolf', Dr. Charles Moffet goes rogue, steals the chopper and kills almost all of the observers. At least one man -- Michael Coldsmith Briggs III survives. Briggs, codenamed 'Archangel' is the head of a covert organization called 'The Firm' and Archangel calls upon the one man in the world he knows that can retrieve the copter. The problem is Stringfellow Hawke is not only a loner, but a recluse as well. The amount of money the Firm is willing to pay for Airwolf's recovery is irrelevant. Hawke wants just one thing - the safe return of his brother, Saint John, who was captured during the Vietnam war and is evidently a POW.

Dr. Robert Winchester is a brilliant researcher and a former test pilot who helped design Airwolf. Now, he's asking for Hawke's help in test flying a simulator that he's designed to enable the Firm to train future test pilots to fly Airwolf. Reluctantly, Hawke agrees, but determines that the simulator's "feel" is a little off. Archangel convinces Hawke to let Winchester hook up the real Airwolf to his computers in order to get a more realistic demonstration. This allows Winchester to engage in a little friendly flying competition with Hawke but it also allows the Russians to nearly get their hands on the high tech super copter.
