Plot Summary

Theorising that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap Accelerator, and vanished. He awoke and found himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an 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, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

Trivia In the scenes where Sam Beckett is looking at someone else's reflection in the mirror these scenes are shot on a dual set using a clear glass mirror in which Scott Bakula is standing on one side of the mirror and the actor or actress is standing on the other side of the mirror See more »
Goofs For the "mirror reflections" in which Sam sees whom he leaps into, the series used a dual set with a clear glass in the "mirror". Scott Bakula would stand on one side, and the actor playing the person he leaped into on the other. Looking closely at the glass, Bakula's reflection can sometimes be seen, especially if the mirror is near a source of light like sunshine. See more »
