Year 2005 Video Release 2005-12-06 Studio Paramount Genre TV Series MPAA Rating Not Rated Color Color Runtime 916 Animated Live-Action Full Synopsis MacGyver Richard Dean Anderson is a modern-day knight-errant, a person people turn to in a crisis. He has a penchant for arriving on the scene in the eleventh hour, when the clock is ticking ominously and innocent lives often are at stake. MacGyver is a packrat, collecting ordinary items of seemingly little value and stashing them in his knapsack for a rainy day. And it is these same items that he uses to improvise his way out of trouble. MacGyver's ingenius solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems may seem like gee-whiz science fiction but they are not it's all based on scientific fact.
