Save the
Cheerleader
Season 4:
2009
From creator/writer Tim Kring (NBC's "Crossing
Jordan") comes the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated "Heroes," an
epic drama that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who
discover they possess extraordinary abilities. In its first
season, "Heroes" was honored with a People's Choice Award, an
AFI Award, a Multicultural Prism Award, the TV Land Future
Classic Award and was named the TV Critics Association
Outstanding Program of the Year. In addition, "Heroes" received
Golden Globe Award, NAACP Image Award, WGA Award, Satellite
Award and Emmy Award nominations. After a total eclipse casts
its shadow across the globe, seemingly calling forth a multitude
of everyday men and women with special powers, Dr. Mohinder
Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy, "Blind Guy Driving"), a genetics
professor from India, continues to champion his father's theory
that there are people with extraordinary abilities living among
us. Claire Bennet, an indestructible high school cheerleader
(Hayden Panettiere, "Bring it On: All or Nothing"), must hide
her ability from her peers while working to maintain her
relationship with her father (Jack Coleman, "Dynasty"), a man of
mystery who has a keen interest in people like her. Niki
Sanders, a Las Vegas single mother (Ali Larter, "Final
Destination") with astonishing strength - and a dangerous,
amoral mirror image (Jessica Sanders) - struggles to support and
protect her young son Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey, "My Wife & Kids"),
a genius who can interact with electronic machinery through
touch. Matt Parkman, a police detective (Greg Grunberg, "Alias")
from Los Angeles, attempts to put his ability to hear the
thoughts of others to good use. In Japan, Hiro Nakamura's (Masi
Oka, NBC's "Scrubs") ability to pierce the space-time continuum
and manipulate time has empowered him to change the future, as
he embarks on wild adventures with his best friend Ando
Masahashi (James Kyson Lee, "Shutter"). Nathan Petrelli, a
congressional hopeful (Adrian Pasdar, "Judging Amy") with the
ability to fly, has his dreams dashed after failing to stop his
younger brother Peter (Milo Ventimiglia, "Rocky Balboa"), a
nurse with the ability to absorb the powers of others, from
exploding over the New York City skyline. And after this violent
clash in New York, the fate of Sylar, a manipulative serial
killer (Zachary Quinto, "24") dedicated to violently collecting
the extraordinary talents of special people, is unknown.
Meanwhile, in the Dominican Republic, a young woman named Maya
Herrera (Dania Ramirez, "The Sopranos") and her twin brother,
plagued by her threatening ability, attempt to make the
dangerous crossing to the United States in search of help. And
Monica Dawson, another young woman (Dana Davis, "The Nine") with
newfound special abilities, would give up everything to help the
people around her. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than
saving the world... Joining Kring as executive producer are
Dennis Hammer (NBC's "Crossing Jordan"), Allan Arkush (NBC's
"Crossing Jordan") and Greg Beeman ("Smallville"). The drama is
produced by Universal Media Studios in association with Tailwind Productions.
