Title	Directed by	Written by	Original release date
The Six Million Dollar Man "The Moon and the Desert"	Richard Irving	Martin Caidin & Henri Simoun	March 7, 1973 (1973-03-07)
Steve Austin is an astronaut who has made three Moon landings. In a test flight accident caused by a malfunctioning center stick, his right arm is severed, his left eye is blinded, and both legs must be surgically amputated. Steve Austin’s personal physician, Dr. Rudy Wells, has theorized about the creation of a cyborg through the installation of bionic parts. He is persuaded by an OSI agent to reconstruct his patient/friend with the understanding that Steve Austin will subsequently work for the OSI. Dr. Wells apprises Steve of the plan, but is met with much resistance as Steve Austin mentally struggles to cope with his injuries, the installation of artificial components, and the future obligations that will be involuntarily thrust upon him. Following surgery and lengthy rehabilitation, Steve Austin reluctantly accepts an assignment to rescue a hostage in Saudi Arabia. Guest Star: Martin Balsam as the first Dr. Rudy Wells
Wine, Women and War	Russ Mayberry	Glen A. Larson	October 20, 1973 (1973-10-20)
Steve Austin is gravely injured by a depth charge while fleeing from a failed mission in Egypt. He refuses further cooperation with OSI, which will not disclose to him the target of the operation that nearly cost him his life. OSI conspires with an old Air Force acquaintance to dupe Austin into "escaping" from his involuntary confinement to Paradise Cay in the Bahamas. There he is unwittingly thrust back into the same operation that intends to stop an arms dealer, Findletter, from selling stolen American and Russian nuclear missiles. The stakes increase when Findletter attempts to hijack a newly launched American submarine. Guest Stars: Earl Holliman as Harry Donner, Britt Ekland as a Russian agent. Bionic Powers Revealed: Steve Austin’s bionic eye has night vision. It is both suggested and partially contradicted that Steve Austin's bionics give him the ability to hold his breath for long periods of time. As noted in Cyborg (the novel on which the TV series was based), Austin's significantly reduced biological body mass requires far less oxygen and produces correspondingly less carbon dioxide; an unchanged lung capacity is thus vastly more efficient. Noteworthy Moments: This episode features bionic swimming and deep-sea fishing. The character Oscar Goldman is introduced. Alan Oppenheimer debuts as the second Dr. Rudy Wells. The sound effect later used to indicate the operation of Steve Austin's eye is heard here as the button effect that operates the missile bay doors. Steve Austin purposely rigs a nuclear bomb to be unwittingly detonated by his pursuer in an inhabited part of Paradise Cay. The bomb is detonated as he looks on from what is portrayed to be a safe distance. Steve Austin threatens his Air Force friend with kicking him as "high as Skylab.
The Solid Gold Kidnapping	Russ Mayberry	Larry Alexander, Alan Caillou	November 17, 1973 (1973-11-17)
Oscar Goldman orchestrates a ruse whereby a high level U.S. military diplomat pretending to be held up in a Paris hospital is to be secretly whisked off to Peking to negotiate an ease of tensions between the two countries. A professional kidnapping organization successfully abducts the diplomat in Paris with the aid of his treacherous paramour known as the Contessa. The kidnappers demand a $1 billion ransom in gold. As the gold shipment moves forward, Steve Austin begins a search against the clock for the hostage. He is aided both by the fickle Contessa and by a doctor who agrees, with perilous consequences, to have brain cells of a dead kidnapper injected into her own brain to allow her to have access to his memories.

Some sources consider these movies to be part of Season 1 of the series, particularly the second and third films, which aired only a couple of months before the weekly series began. All three films were later re-edited into two-part episodes of the regular series, with additional footage added, for the purposes of network reruns and later syndication. In all three cases, the original opening titles are removed and replaced with the standard Six Million Dollar Man title sequence. In the case of "The Moon and the Desert", some of the additional footage consisted of clips from later seasons, including footage of Martin E. Brooks as Rudy Wells, even though Martin Balsam plays the character in the first telefilm, and operation footage from "The Bionic Woman" episode of season 2.

Steve's friend Joe Patton is the subject of a unique experiment to transfer information directly from a computer to a human brain. Patton becomes the OSI's newest super-agent but the process has hidden dangers... Guest Star: Kim Basinger as Lorraine Stenger Noteworthy moments: This episode features only a few scenes with Col. Austin, at the beginning and end of the episode. It was a backdoor pilot attempt. The concept was later retried with the same title, director, and producers (but with a different cast) in an effort that became a 1979 made-for-TV movie; neither production was picked up for a series.
71	15	"Death Probe: Part 1"	Richard Moder	Steven E. de Souza	January 9, 1977 (1977-01-09)

Stripped of his brawn, Steve Austin puts his wholly human brain to the task and correctly theorizes that the heightened internal pressure of the Death Probe gained in its propulsion around Venus repelled the missile. The solution, he reasons, is to bring the Death Probe to a higher elevation where the low pressure atmosphere will allow it to explode. Noteworthy Moments: This episode features bionic juking, and bionic screw fastening. Steve Austin’s relationship with Russian scientist Irina Leonova causes them to challenge the logic of the Cold War.
73	17	"Danny's Inferno"	Cliff Bole	Tom Greene	January 23, 1977 (1977-01-23)

With no leads and time running out, Steve Austin risks blowing his cover by pointedly questioning Ritsky’s female assistant Lena Bannister. His keen observations in the gym expose the true plot to be the theft of a very heavy NASA chip. Guest Stars: Yvonne Craig as Lena Bannister, Harold Sylvester as a boxer named Tulomme, Joe Kapp as Cooper, and Jerry Quarry as Wally Noteworthy Moment: Steve Austin uses a bionic pivot to avoid being crushed by a 4,200 lb. computer chip on wheels. Interesting slip up - Oscar indicates to Steve that the location he needs to be in is a building in Washington DC. Steve indicates he is nearby. The next scene is of Steve in an ambulance racing past an area which includes some very non-Washington DC palm trees.
76	20	"Carnival of Spies"	Richard Moder	Robert C. Dennis	February 13, 1977 (1977-02-13)
Steve Austin investigates an East German scientist who fakes a heart attack while in the U.S. under the guise of attending a science conference.

Due to high winds caused by a fast approaching twister, three bank robbers and their getaway van get stuck in the desert sands. Excessive turbulence forces Steve Austin and Dr. Rudy Wells to make an emergency aircraft landing nearby. Dr. Rudy Wells breaks his ankle jumping off the landed plane. To provide a means to transport Wells to a local doctor, Steve Austin assists one of the bank robbers in extricating his van from its sandy morass only to have his kindness repaid in the form of a wrench blow to the head. Meanwhile, a teacher and four children become stranded in a cable car when a bolt of lightning causes a power outage. Noteworthy Moment: This episode features bionic wirestripping. This is the most poorly produced episode of SMDM. Rudy's comments that Steve may "land the plane in the eye of the twister" gets a double take, as a twister is narrow and there would be no way to land a plane in the middle of it without knowing it and doing it intentionally. Further, tornadic activity which lasts hours in one small town, while the sky is blue most of the time except for the occasional closeup of dark clouds, further takes away credibility.The footage of a nearby town being evacuated after being devastated by said twister is the same footage seen in Death Probe when a town was evacuated.

Guest Star: Eric Braeden as Viktor Cheraskin
93	13	"Just a Matter of Time"	Don McDougall	Story by : Neal J. Sperling Teleplay by : Gregory S. Dinallo & Neal J. Sperling	January 8, 1978 (1978-01-08)
