Ep 1. Goliath Part 1

The Knight Rider season 2 opener, Goliath Part 1, sets the stage for a riveting, two-part storyline featuring the iconic black Pontiac Trans Am, KITT, and his driver, Michael Knight. In this episode, Knight and KITT are pitted against a formidable opponent, a mysterious, high-tech semi-truck, known as Goliath.

The story begins with a group of criminals stealing a specialized missile from a government facility, exposing their nefarious intentions. When a group of government agents try to stop the criminals, Goliath intervenes, dealing a deadly blow to the agents in a thrilling, high-speed chase.

As the viewer is introduced to this massive, imposing semi-truck, it becomes clear that Goliath is no ordinary vehicle. With its state-of-the-art gadgets and lethal weapons, Goliath is a force to be reckoned with.

Meanwhile, Michael Knight, played by David Hasselhoff, is being honored at a fundraising event for the foundation that employs him. This event is attended by some of the wealthiest individuals in the world, including Jennifer Knight, Michael’s love interest and the daughter of Knight Foundation’s creator, Charles Graiman.

As the guests mingle and celebrate, a man who had been following Jennifer earlier, sneaks away from the party with a particularly devious plan. He plants an explosive device in the room where the missile is located in hopes of defeating any future attempts to stop Goliath and its dangerous cargo.

But, this plan is thwarted when KITT and Michael Knight come to the rescue, displaying the Trans Am’s impressive capabilities, including its ability to scan and analyze its surroundings, and create an impervious force field, preventing the building from exploding.

From here, the storyline takes an intense turn, as viewers are introduced to the true antagonist of the episode - Garthe Knight, Michael’s evil twin brother. In a thrilling confrontation between the two brothers, Garthe gives viewers a taste of his violent nature, as well as his impressive survival skills.

As Goliath starts to make its way to its final destination, the Knight Foundation sends out a team to stop the dangerous semi-truck, but it quickly becomes clear that they are no match for its advanced capabilities. With no other alternative, Charles Graiman turns to his best hope for stopping Goliath - KITT and Michael Knight.

In the closing scene of the episode, viewers see KITT in stealth-mode as Knight prepares to take on Goliath and its intimidating driver. The stage is set for the epic conclusion of the two-part episode that serves to remind viewers why Knight Rider was such a beloved show during its time, with thrilling action sequences, a fast-paced storyline, and a cast of compelling characters.
