Opening gambit - The Pilot: MacGyver rescues an American pilot who has crashed on top of a high cliff. After a lab explodes, MacGyver is asked to rescue scientists that are trapped underground, guarded by a deadly security system before the Army detonates a warhead to protect the environment from leaks. However, MacGyver is able to fix the leak using a very unusual tool- chocolate. But neither the Army nor the people upstairs know anything that is going on underground. By this time, MacGyver has only two minutes remaining before the Army will launch the warhead...
