TV Network: ABC Episodes: about six
Premiere: Postponed Mondays, one hour episodes

Synopsis: This is a reality show from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. One contestant is dropped off somewhere in the United States, and TV viewers are given clues to identify his or her whereabouts. Each day that the runner avoids capture, he or she will win a cash bonus. If the runner can remain at large for 28 days without being caught, he or she will win the game and the money. A former CIA operative will assist the runner, while a former police detective will coach the agents. Also assisting the agents are the American public and high-tech tracking devices. Clues of the runner's location will be divulged over the Internet as well as on ABC prime-time shows. If an agent catches the runner, the agent will get the prize-money accrued for that week.
