About
You can watch The Greatest American Hero (1981) for free on The CW, or buy on Apple TV+.
The chronicles of teacher Ralph Hinkley's adventures after a group of aliens gives him a red suit that gives him superhuman abilities. Unfortunately, Ralph, who hates wearing the suit, immediately loses its instruction booklet, and thus has to learn how to use its powers by trial and error, often with comical results.
A clumsy schoolteacher gains cosmic superpowers only to immediately misplace the manual required to operate them. This awkward learning curve turns every attempt at heroism into a hilarious struggle against his own ineptitude.
