Knight Rider 2000

In the futuristic year of 2000, the Knight Foundation is a relic of the past, and its legendary crime-fighting car, KITT, has been decommissioned and dismantled.

With the help of a resourceful detective and a reformed former adversary, Michael must reassemble KITT and combat a wave of violence threatening to engulf the city.
