The A-Team

- Season 1

(1983)

The A-Team is hired by Amy Allen to rescue a missing foreign correspondent in Mexico.

A wealthy businessman hires the team to rescue his daughter from a religious cult, but after helping the girl escape, Hannibal, B.A., Face and Amy are captured and sentenced to death by the cult's fanatical leader, Martin James. The four manage to escape from their captors and hole up at a local farm, but James' minions refuse to rest until the fugitives are 'brought to justice'.

The Team goes to a prison in Florida where the sadistic warden forces the prisoners to fight in gladiatorial combat. Face impersonates a criminal psychologist to get close to the warden, while the others infiltrate the prison population.

A police inspector calls on the A-Team to help him end the activities of a corrupt SWAT team who are hiring themselves out as hitmen.

Since B.A. is seriously wounded Hannibal decides to stop in a remote town to get medical help. This results in Hannival and Face getting locked up in jail. To make matters worse, a biker gang is on its way to burn the town to the ground.

When two college girls hire the A-Team to rescue their professor who's been nabbed by the mob for a gambling system he's created that seems to work, Hannibal, B.A. and Murdock masquerade as a secret government hit squad in Las Vegas to take out mob boss Gianni Christian unless he turns the professor over to them. Complications arise after the professor's rescue when Christian ends up getting tossed from his penthouse by an overzealous underling and the Team, accused of the murder, is pursued by the mob and the cops as they try to escape.

The A-Team agree to help a beleaguered New York neighborhood free itself from a brutal mobster's protection racket.

On their way back from Guatemala, the A-Team's plane crashes in a remote area of South Carolina and the team find themselves in a firefight with some locals who are preparing to barbecue a local government official. After running the locals off, Murdock, Face and B.A. design and build an ultralight so Howling Mad can fly the wounded man out of there. Meanwhile, the rednecks are re-grouping for another attack on the team -- and the unit is almost out of ammo!

The team are hired to help a watermelon farmer deliver his crop to market.

Hannibal's reckless motorbike driving at his daring escape from a sleazy monster-movie set finally gets him, Face and BA arrested by Colonel Lynch, who proudly poses for the press after locking them in an army base. However, the State Department offers them at least a day's lead to escape if they carry out an unofficial, virtually suicidal, mission to free their evil Vietnam CO General Ludlam and his daughter Kathy, a missionary, from ruthless Borneo rebel leader Rashaad. Luckily Murdock, alerted by Amy, follows to help out.

The team is hired to rescue an heiress who is being forced to marry her late father's partner. The team gets her. But because the man has everyone in the county, including the police in his pocket, they're pinned down. Later the girl tells them she suspects her father's partner of killing her father and he wanted to marry her so that he could get full control of the company. She also tells them that there may be evidence in her father's office which he took over after her father's death, that he killed her father. So in order to get it and to get him to back off, ...
