Goofs

One of the searchers speaks of looking more for Steve the next day, "when it gets daylight", but the sky is clearly a bright blue, indicating that it is actually the middle of the day, and the film is just underexposed to simulate the dimmer illumination of twilight.

Who Am I?

Steve Austin(Lee Majors) is piloting a plane when he suffers a malfunction in his bionic arm that causes him to eject. After landing, he wanders onto a road, suffering from amnesia, and befriends a woman named Angie Walker(played by Sharon Farrell) who runs an experimental home for older patients who can no longer handle society. Unfortunately, local townspeople led by an evil grocery store owner named Horace(played by Robert Donner) will do anything to force them out, including murder, and it is a race against time if Oscar Goldman(Richard Anderson) can get him the help he needs... Thoughtful and unique episode would have worked just as well on "The Incredible Hulk", with the wandering man/super strength theme.
