Jennifer Garner stars in this television series as Sydney Bristow a 26 year-old graduate student working for a secret division of the CIA. The mission of this arm of the CIA is to combat SD-6 a secret terrorist organization whose agents believe that they in fact work for a secret organization of the CIA that combats terrorism. This first season of the series begins as Sydney begins work as a double agent for the CIA who want to destroy the organization and its leader Arvin Sloane. Sent all over the world on various undercover missions Sydney must sabotage SD-6's efforts while maintaining her cover so that she can help take down SD-6 from the inside. Quite possibly the most entertaining show to debut on network television in the last decade ALIAS is a fast paced thrill ride buoyed by Ms. Garner's performance as well as her penchant for wearing some outrageously risque disguises on her missions.
