''Fortune Hunter'' was a series on Creator/{{Fox}} Network in 1994, starring the late Mark Frankel as the super-spy Carlton Dial.

Dial is an ex-government agent whose high-risk assignments take him to exotic locales and into extreme danger, all in the name of recovering some of the world's most sought-after items – classified information, complex weapons systems, and the occasional endangered species, which have fallen into the wrong hands – for a handsome fee.

Dial is now working as a master agent for the Intercept Corporation, a high-tech global recovery organization based in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco. Dial and his partner, the affable Harry Flack (John Robert Hoffman of Series/{{Adventures in Wonderland}} fame), execute incredibly complex plans to retrieve these valuable items, depending on split-second timing and an astounding array of sophisticated electronic gadgetry.

!!Tropes:
* DefrostingIceQueen: In a few instances. One example being a female marine biologist in "The Aquarius Intercept".
* TheCharmer: Dial is this to a fault.
* {{Foil}}: Carlton Dial is the Sauvé, womanizing, and crafty agent who is not afraid to get physical when necessary. Harry, on the other hand, is the nerdy, computer geek who's also a Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes fanboy. And while Dial is shown to be quite wealthy, Harry struggles with finances as he failed to pay his taxes and was even towed in later episodes.
* {{Expy}}: Dial is basically the Film/JamesBond of the 90's.
* {{Geek}}: Harry truly fits this trope.
%%* GentlemanThief: Carlton Dial
* GirlOfTheWeek: Basically any girl Dial falls for.
* JobTitle: "Fortune Hunter" is the name of Dial's occupation.
* LaserSight: Played with. The hero points out a red dot on a guard's chest, warning the man not to move or raise the alarm lest he be shot by a hidden sniper. The dot, however, comes from an off-the-shelf laser pointer taped to a tree.
%%* MissionControl: Harry Flack
* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: Carlton uses camera contact lenses and a two-way earpiece to transmit what he sees and hears to Harry.
* PutonaBus: According to Website/{{Wikipedia}}, the last unaired episode of the whole show has the unseen Harry being "promoted" and replaced by three new colleagues.
* SovietSuperscience: As seen in "Red Alert" where a Soviet satellite is filled with a poison gas.
%%* TuxedoAndMartini
* VictimOfTheWeek: It's a given considering the show's genre. Thus leading to...
* [[MonsterOfTheWeek Villain of the Week]]: Thieves, evil organizations, the works.
%%* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Harry Flack
