hey designed her to be the perfect soldier...
A human weapon...then she escaped.
In a future not far from now...in a broken world...
She is haunted by her past.
She cannot run, she must fight...to discover her destiny.
“Girls kick ass. Says so on the t-shirt.”

For his television debut, Academy Award-winner James Cameron (“Titanic,” “T2") teamed with Emmy Award-winner Charles H. Eglee (“Murder One”) to create DARK ANGEL, a sci-fi adventure series set in the near future after an electromagnetic pulse detonated by terrorists has crippled the U.S. economy. As a measure of the show’s immediate popularity, DARK ANGEL received the People’s Choice Award for Favorite New Television Dramatic Series in its first season.
DARK ANGEL stars Jessica Alba (“The Fantastic Four”) as Max, a genetically-engineered human prototype with attitude to spare. As a child, Max escaped from her military creators and made a life for herself on the edgy streets of 21st-century Seattle. She becomes a reluctant hero when she teams up with idealistic, underground cyber-journalist Logan Cale (Michael Weatherly), lending her unique abilities to his crusade against corruption and an oppressive establishment. In exchange, Logan offers his help in locating her “siblings,” who escaped with Max but have scattered in the aftermath. Max’s desperate search to find the others like her ultimately leads her back to Manticore, the nefarious government laboratory that spawned her.
Scared and alone, Max is now a prisoner again in the facility she fled a decade before. Her friends believe she is dead and that Manticore is using any means necessary to re-indoctrinate her. It seems like there is no way out this time. But Max has a plan and it’s going to blow Manticore wide open.
