“She can be anyone.”
CreatorJ.J. Abrams
Sydney Bristow believes she's risking her life for the CIA until she discovers a shattering truth: her employer, SD-6, is actually a rogue cell of a criminal syndicate, and every mission she's run has served the wrong side. Turning double agent for the real CIA, she splits her life between globe-trotting espionage in elaborate disguises and a precarious personal world where almost no one, including her own father, can know the truth. Jennifer Garner anchors the show with ferocious physicality and vulnerability, while Victor Garber and Ron Rifkin embody the fractured father figures pulling her in opposite directions. Creator J.J. Abrams fused pulpy spy mythology with real emotional stakes years before it became genre standard.
