In a world where a careless word can undo years of work and the slightest misstep can prove fatal, John Drake is without peer. A lone operative working for a top-secret NATO office, he travels the globe bringing international villains to justice and defusing explosive situations with unshakeable aplomb.

The precurser to The Prisoner, Danger Man set the standard to which all spy shows aspire. It also defied the conventions of the genre with a hero (The Prisoner's Patrick McGoohan) who fights only as a last resort and never lets temptation distract him from the mission at hand.
