1.
A storm brews on the surface of the sun. A violent collision of solar wind, charged magnetospheric particles and the thermosphere, shooting flames out into the cosmos. 93 million miles away, Major Jack North’s neuron’s ignite in a flash. He is ready.
2.
Their mission: to test the limits of human capability, to pursue peace and justice and to protect the American way of life.
3.
Supercharged 02:48
Under the watchful gaze of Dr Alison Taylor, Jack North undergoes a rigorous training program, pushing his mind and his body further than they have ever been - further than ANYONE has EVER been.
4.
Investigating mysterious activity down at the docks, Jack uncovers shocking evidence of a drug smuggling operation and a complex web of corruption and murder… that leads all the way to the top.
5.
With his conspiracy uncovered and his criminal operation in tatters, union bigwig Johnny Hoofer is on the run, but he hasn’t reckoned with the superhuman abilities of Jack North!
6.
To take on the mafia, Jack goes undercover as a nightclub singer at Santino’s, winning himself some unwanted admirers.
7.
An unforeseen increase in sunspots gives Jack the ability to glimpse the future. Or is someone manipulating him? Meanwhile, Alison is kidnapped by a sinister doomsday cult, and Jack must use his solar enhanced intellect to solve a 4000 year old Egyptian riddle, before she is used as a human sacrifice.
8.
The dying words of an East German defector lead the team on a mysterious trail that uncovers a shocking truth: a communist shadow operation, “Bertrieb Ost-Stern” (Operation East-star), where ruthless experiments are being conducted to create their own superhuman solar agents.
9.
The decision is taken to confront Bertrieb Ost-Stern head-on. Jack flies to Berlin where he uses his abilities to leap over the Berlin wall, evading border guards and disappearing into the bleak cityscapes of communist Germany.
10.
Jack comes face to face with the beautiful Matilda Stärke, Bertrieb Ost-Stern’s first success at creating a super-warrior of their own. As their high stakes game of cat and mouse takes them across Eastern Europe, Jack begins to sense that there may be more that binds them than divides them.
11.
When Jack and Matilda both find themselves trapped underground in a labyrinthine subterranean complex, with only minutes before a thermonuclear weapons test, they must combine their extraordinary powers in order to escape.
12.
Having barely escaped with their lives, Jack and Matilda find themselves in hiding together, where they finally give in to their feelings. Declaring her total love for him, Matilda renounces communism and embraces freedom.
13.
Jack and Matilda attempt a daring escape to the free world, crossing the Berlin wall on hang gliders. Tragedy strikes when an East German border guard shoots Matilda down just after they make it to the west.
14.
After Matilda dies in his arms, Jack loses control. Feeding on a terrible hunger for vengeance and the rays of the sun, he launches himself back over the wall on a deadly rampage. He is only saved from an explosive death when Alison confesses her true feelings to him.
15.
A scientific breakthrough finally allows the team to understand what has happened to Jack on a cellular level. A discovery that may have huge ramifications… for all of us.
16.
With light finally shed on his path, Can Jack come to terms with who he is now? Or does the past hold more surprises?

about

WHEN A FREAK SOLAR EVENT IN SPACE SUPERCHARGED HIS BRAIN WITH THE POWER OF THE SUN, TOP US ASTRONAUT MAJOR JACK NORTH BECAME MORE THAN A MAN. NOW, EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT GIVES HIM THE ABILITY TO THINK FASTER THAN A SUPERCOMPUTER, RUN FASTER THAN A JAGUAR, AND TO HARNESS THE STRENGTH OF A THOUSAND MEN… BUT TOO MUCH EXPOSURE AND HIS BRAIN WILL EXPLODE!

STRUGGLING WITH HIS NEW POWERS, HE DEDICATES HIMSELF TO THE COUNTRY HE LOVES, WORKING AS A SPECIAL AGENT FOR A TOP-SECRET GOVERNMENT PROGRAM, A PROGRAM CALLED… OPERATION NORTHSTAR!


Operation Northstar is the highly anticipated television series that follows the continuing adventures of Major Jack North (Greg Evigan), hero of TV Movie sensation Northstar (1986). In season one of this thrilling new show we will join Jack and his loyal team members Colonel Evan Marshall (Mitchell Ryan), Dr Alison Taylor (Deborah Wakemen) and Technician Archie Fink (Michael J. Pollard) as they risk their lives protecting America from enemies without - and within. We will see Jack face off with the mafia, infiltrate a billion dollar drug trafficking operation, pursue corrupt city officials, battle a white supremacist cult and take on the insidious might of the unions.

A dramatic multi-part story arc will see Jack travel to Berlin, where he will leap over the Berlin Wall and expose a shadowy communist program aiming to create their own equivalent superhuman agents - a program known as “Bertrieb Ost-Stern” (Operation East-star). There, he will engage in a thrilling battle of wits with their one success, the beautiful and dangerous Matilda Stärke (Isabel Von Bismarck). Their deadly game of cat and mouse will reach an extraordinary climax as they both find themselves trapped in an underground cavern minutes before a nuclear weapon test. Escaping together, they will fall madly in love, with Matilda renouncing oppression in the name of freedom, before tragically dying in Jack’s arms after being shot by an East German border guard.

In the breathtaking cliffhanger finale, Jack will finally come face-to-face with the man pulling the strings behind all of his brushes with death - his long-lost father, Major Jack North Sr, who went missing in action fighting in Vietnam fourteen years ago!

Don’t miss a single episode of Operation Northstar - THE television event of 1987.

about

Dread Phallinoid England, UK

In the darkest, bleakest recesses of the ancient universe, lurks the Dread Phallinoid. Relentlessly, it strives to sate its endless hunger for retro synthesiser music, imaginary soundtracks and tales of the futuristic and the arcane. Devouring the detritus of pop culture past it spews out strange rhythms, inhuman sounds and cascading waves of deviant music. Nothing can stop the Dread Phallinoid. ... more
