| Summary: | Spies and secret agents were the courageous champions of the 1960's. The glamour, the gadgets, and the beautiful femme fatales were inseparable from the weighty implications of their daring assignments. It was a time when espionage seemed exotic and even heroic. In 1968 one television show challenged that notion. Indeed, it even questioned the nature of an individual's relationship to society. That show was The Prisoner. It was the story of a man who, after resigning from a top secret government agency, finds himself the prisoner of an unknown power in an ominous wonderland known only as The Village. Now, twenty years later, in an era when the morality of covert operations is no longer taken for granted, we again find ourselves in The Village. Its fate and significance are, at last, about to be revealed.
