Alias is an American action television series created by J. J. Abrams which was broadcast on ABC for five seasons, from September 30, 2001 to May 22, 2006. It stars Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow, a CIA agent.
The main theme of the series explores Sydney's obligation to conceal her true career from her friends and family, even as she assumes multiple aliases to carry out her missions. These themes are most prevalent in the first two seasons of the show. A major plotline of the series was the search for and recovery of artifacts created by Milo Rambaldi, a Renaissance-era character with similarities to both Leonardo da Vinci and Nostradamus. This plot and some technologies used in the series place Alias into the genre of science fiction.
Alias was in the American Film Institute's top ten list for television programs in 2003. British magazine Empire ranked it #35 in their list of the "50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time" and said "Alias was an action-packed weekly adventure that outclassed just about every other show in the genre."

Plot: It's a kind of strange story: At the beginning it seems like an old classic Western-Movie. But then - the disillusionment. Alias, a man in the 30s, rides through a wide dusty landscape, singing songs of the almost forgotten. More and more, voices are heard - voices of children. Things he sees, seem to arouse something inside of him. Then Alias encounters an old man. Peculiarly this man is dressed like himself. The man send him on. Alias use to finish something. Finally Alias ends up in his parents' house. His father is there. On the way through the house we find out things about Alias through photos. The children-voices accumulate, also notes, people who point to events of the previous story and stimulate reflection. Maybe we understand now who Alias is and what has moved him to his "journey". Perhaps the whole thing remains a kind of strange history.
