Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers are reunited after ten years of living separate lives. Jaime's memory is fully restored, and she tries to reconcile her feelings for Steve. Steve also tries to build a relationship with his 23-year-old estranged son Michael, who is now an Air Force pilot. Michael is critically injured in a tragic jet crash, and Dr. Rudy Wells rebuilds him with state-of-the-art bionic replacements. When the radical group Fortress captures Rudy and Michael with plans to build their own bionic army to take over the United States, Jaime and Steve step out of retirement to stop them.
