It was a co-production of Fireworks Entertainment (Canada), Tribune Entertainment (United States), M6 (France), Amy International (UK), and Tele München (Germany). The series premise was inspired by the work of modern-day explorer Barry Clifford. Distribution was by syndication throughout the United States and by Global in Canada. Following its only season, the episodes were aired in Canada on Space. Series outlineThe preamble and voiceover from the opening titles tell the premise of the show: "My name is Judson Cross. I've been called everything from a treasure hunter to a thrill seeker, but personally I like to think of myself as a professional explorer. My company is Adventure, Inc. and we're in the business of finding things - things that are priceless, dangerous, sometimes even unexplainable. My crew will go anywhere and risk everything. Adventure really is our business". As he travels along different corners of the world, Cross is accompanied by two partners: Mackenzie (Karen Cliche) and Gabriel (Jesse Nilsson). PublicityFireworks International went into Cannes with Adventure Inc., and with its star Michael Biehn worked the Croisette hard to promote the show.[1] Biehn was joined by executive producer Gale Ann Hurd, who had gotten Biehn roles in The Terminator and Aliens, both films they had done with Hurd's then-husband James Cameron. Now divorced, she and Biehn hoped to make a splash with this TV show. The show's main character is Judson Cross, a seafaring adventurer-for-hire, and was originally Hurd's idea, based partly on the real-life exploits of her close friend, explorer Barry Clifford, discoverer of the Whydah Gally (the world's only authenticated pirate shipwreck).[2] "It's not common in television to have a character inspired by real events and real character," she said. The research vessel, Vast Explorer, featured in the show was named in honor of the ship used by Clifford. Hurd maintained that the one big difference between film and television was budgets, and that in relation to her films, Adventure Inc.'s budget was "a very small percentage." Legendary guerrilla filmmaker Roger Corman helped Hurd to deliver the series on time and on budget. "What I think prepared me for television was my time with Roger Corman, where we neither had time nor money to finish our projects," she said. "Instead of as a negative, though, I've come to see it as a positive thing." Cast and characters
