Knight Rider follows the adventures of Michael Knight, a high-tech modern-day crime fighter who is recruited by a private justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). After being saved from a near-fatal gunshot wound and given a new identity, Michael is paired with KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand), a virtually indestructible, artificially intelligent supercar. Together, they travel across the country to fight for the innocent and uphold the law where traditional authorities cannot. The series centers on the dynamic partnership between Michael and KITT, whose dry wit and advanced capabilities—including turbo boost, molecular bonded shell, and autonomous driving—make them an unstoppable force. Throughout the series, they face a variety of villains, ranging from corporate criminals to rogue technological threats, all while navigating the complex moral landscape of vigilante justice under the guidance of Devon Miles and the technical expertise of Bonnie Barstow.
