Overview[]

Theorizing that one could time travel within their own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett developed Project: Quantum Leap. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, he stepped into the Quantum Accelerator ... and vanished.

He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and randomly jumping from era to era whenever he changes history for the better. His own guide and companion on this journey is Al Calavicci, the Project Observer from his own time who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, era to era; struggling to put right what once went wrong and hoping that the next leap ... will be the leap home.

Quantum Leap was an American produced adventure-drama science fiction TV series starring Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. Although performing with moderate viewer ratings, the TV series won a number of Primetime Emmy Awards and Golden Globes during its original series run and was considered a cult show with a strong legion of fans. It's finale episode was deliberately done ambiguously as it was unknown at the time if the series would continue for another season and left a number of fans disappointed with the vagueness of the conclusion. The series has been shown in reruns and syndication over the past decades and its enduring popularity has resulted in rumors for a feature film or a reboot TV series being considered.

Plot Summary[]

Season 1[]

Dr. Samuel Beckett is a quantum physicist who postulated the theory of time traveling within one's own lifespan. Due to an accident with his quantum accelerator, he now finds uncontrollably "leaping" from life to life throughout history.

Sam bodily leaps into a person at a critical juncture point of their history, displacing their consciousness with his own and temporarily assuming their identity and life. The only way for him to leap out is to change their future history for the better.

His only companion is his friend, Al Calavicci who is neurologically linked to Sam and is projected as an intangible and invisible hologram that only Sam can see and hear and tries to provide Sam with the future data that he needs to change his new persona's history.

And so, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping randomly throughout time and eras, struggling to alter history in the hopes that his next leap will be the leap home.
