Greatest American Hero


He has the super suit. He’s lost the instruction manual. William Katt stars as a teacher learning to save the day one spectacular mishap at a time. Watch Seasons 1–3.

Teacher Ralph Hinkley never asked to be a superhero. After an encounter with aliens, he receives a red suit with extraordinary powers—but promptly loses the instructions. Flying, fighting crime and figuring out what the suit can do become a series of often hilarious experiments.

With FBI agent Bill Maxwell pushing him into new missions and lawyer Pam Davidson keeping him grounded, Ralph tries to do the right thing even when he has no idea how to land. Starring William Katt, Robert Culp and Connie Sellecca, The Greatest American Hero blends superhero adventures, comedy and unmistakable 1980s charm. Seasons 1–3 are available to watch.
