Fortune Hunter is an American action-adventure drama series that aired on Fox from September 4 to October 2, 1994, starring Mark Frankel as spy Carlton Dial.

In the United States, Fortune Hunter aired on Fox from September 4, 1994 to October 2, 1994; of the 13 episodes produced, only five aired, though the series aired in its entirety in other countries. The decision to have the series air immediately after football on Sundays at 7:00 pm was a factor in the dismissal of Sandy Grushow, president of Fox Entertainment, by chairman Rupert Murdoch.[1]

Plot

The series follows the adventures of Carlton Dial (Mark Frankel), an ex-government agent who now works as an agent for the Intercept Corporation, a high-tech global recovery organization based in San Francisco, with his partner, Harry Flack (John Robert Hoffman). His assignments take him to exotic locales and into danger to recover sought-after items, such as classified information, complex weapons systems, and endangered species, which have fallen into the wrong hands, for a fee.

Dial takes his assignments seriously, as he is determined to keep his perfect success record intact. On these assignments, he utilizes technology such as a special contact lens that he wears, which features a built-in camera and electronic earpiece. It allows Harry, who is linked to him by computer, to see and hear everything he does and communicate with him from the Corporation's home office and relay information.
