I saw this on the UPN network's "Action Pack" which is where the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena Warrior Princess started out. It was kind of an afternoon movie show and each week they showed a different movie. Some had several 2 hour episodes like Hercules. Other's like Knight Rider 2010 only had one shot.
The movie takes place in a post apocalyptic world in the same vein as Mad Max. A few powerful corporations are still around but a lot of the world is wasteland and decaying cities.
One of the corporations is after a crystal computer chip, which eventually becomes the core of the new K.I.T.T. although the car has little in common with the black Trans Am from the series. The recorded mind of the driver's love interest is stored in the crystal computer chip and does little more than make sassy comments and try to come to terms with her death.
There is another baddie out there with a fance car created from the remains of a stealth bomber. The climax of the movie is a chase through the city while machine guns and bombs fly.
I have over-simplified the plot but it really isn't much more complicated than I have laid out. The T.V. movie would have been more successful had it been given a non-Knight Rider name. Had it been billed as a Mad Max ripp-off it might have been better received.
In the end though, this movie is a lot more entertaining than "Team Knight Rider." Which was truly horrid and reminiscent of the Power Rangers TV Show in terms of some of its visuals.
