Storyline

When Max, Berto and Jefferson track a pair of thieves stealing computer components to the annual Del Oro Extreme, Max must go undercover as Josh McGrath. As a competitor in the DOX, Josh teams up with real-life skate-boarding star Tony Hawk to defeat a slick sports agent called Grimsley and his two dirty-fighting stars, Durham and Preston. But it turns out that Durham and Preston are the robbers; and they're using nitro-chips, a high tech kind of steroid, to make themselves as powerful as Max Steel! Will Max be able to stop these supercharged bad guys before their boss Grimsley can put his nitro-chips into mass production?

User Reviews

Super spy at 19--Max Steele is thrill-a-minute action!

Move over James Bond, there's a new super agent--Max Steele! The cgi-based animated series is marketed to children but will appeal to adults as well. Steele has acquired unusual powers by accident that led to his induction into a secret service agency which combats evil around the world. The opening episode provides hints that more than startlingly realistic animation sequences are in store.
