6'7" Cal "Kodiak" McKay covered more than 50,000 square miles of territory as an officer of the Alaska State Patrol. Pounding through the snow in his powerful four-wheel-drive truck, Kodiak hunted killers, accompanied by his Eskimo partner Abraham.

Home to some of the world's best fishing and hunting, Kodiak Island is a sportsman's paradise. Made up of virtually untouched wilderness, 'The Rock,' as it's known to locals, is also frequented by deadly predators and erratic weather. Experience the struggles of three multi-generational families risking it all to make a living in this in this dangerous environment.

Kodiak is a short lived, half-hour adventure program that aired Friday evenings at 8:00 p.m Eastern time on ABC during the 1974-1975 television season. The show revolved around the main character of Cal "Kodiak" McKay, an Alaska State Trooper. Kodiak, always accompanied by his Eskimo sidekick Abraham Lincoln Imhook, used his four-wheel drive truck to track down desperate killers through 50,000 miles of Alaska backcountry. The show was broadcast against NBC's mega-hit Sanford and Son. Kodiak couldn't lure viewers in to watch and was cancelled after the first episode, although a total of four episodes were aired. The show was filmed in Bend, Oregon Using the Old Skyliners Ski Lodge as the primary Meeting Place.

Even in a spot as remote and wild as Alaska's Kodiak Island, the struggle between man and nature continues. Wildlife filmmaker Wolfgang Bayer presents this tug-of-war from both the human and bear perspective. Taking viewers inside a Kodiak bear's den and providing an inside glimpse of the great carnivore's daily life, Bayer reveals the bears' fight for survival in the face of a shrinking habitat and often tragic encounters with humans.
