MacGyver (2016) is an action-adventure television series that follows the adventures of the titular hero, Angus "Mac" MacGyver, a highly skilled and resourceful operative for a secret government agency known as the Phoenix Foundation. In season 2 episode 20, titled "Skyscraper - Power," Mac and his team are called upon to deal with a crisis in a high-rise building that's under attack by terrorists who have taken hostages and are threatening to blow up the building.
The episode opens with Mac and his team, Jack Dalton and Riley Davis, arriving at the scene of the crisis in a helicopter. From their vantage point, they see that the terrorists have rigged the building with explosives and have taken the building's power grid offline, causing widespread panic and chaos in the city below.
Realizing that time is running out, Mac comes up with a plan to restore power to the building before the terrorists can detonate their bombs. Using his extensive knowledge of engineering, physics, and chemistry, Mac sets to work rigging up makeshift power generators using materials he finds in the building and in the surrounding area.
Meanwhile, Jack and Riley are tasked with infiltrating the building and rescuing the hostages. The duo uses their skills in combat, infiltration, and disguise to make their way through the building undetected, taking out any terrorists they come across and freeing the hostages one by one.
As the clock ticks down, Mac faces several obstacles in his efforts to restore power to the building. He must deal with faulty wiring, unstable power sources, and the ever-present threat of the terrorists discovering and disrupting his plans. But through his ingenuity, perseverance, and sheer determination, Mac manages to keep ahead of the terrorists and get the power back online, setting the stage for the dramatic final confrontation.
Ultimately, it's Mac's resourcefulness and quick thinking that save the day. With the power restored and the hostages rescued, the terrorists are defeated and the city is safe once again. But for Mac and his team, there's no time to rest on their laurels – there's always another crisis waiting just around the corner.
