From breakthrough technologies to never before seen weapons and defense systems, Secret Access: Superpower is an all-access pass to America's military might, featuring the most modern weapons taking on the age-old challenges of terrorism, war, bomb threats, close combat, the deepest missions of sea, and death-defying airborne fights. Hosted by actor/director and military enthusiast, Peter Berg, along with Peter Singer, the noted defense expert and NY Times best-selling author, this two-hour special leads viewers down the war path of America's most remarkable munitions of past and present in an exciting and surprise-filled journey behind the scenes of the world's last remaining superpower.

Vienna 1953: Vying with Russia for control of postwar Europe, the U.S. is in dire need of intelligence--until Lt. Col. Pyotr Popov offers his services by dropping a letter into a diplomat's car. In 1959, the KGB caught Popov, forcing him to send false information. Before his 1960 execution, he bravely signaled the CIA alerting them to the situation. Then, meet CIA officer Chip Beck who refused to evacuate from Cambodia in 1975--until he rescued over 200 people from genocide at the Killing Fields.

Oleg Penkovsky, a disillusioned colonel with Soviet military intelligence (GRU), volunteered his services to the CIA and photographed secret documents--information so crucial that it became the trump card in a deadly game of nuclear politics when President Kennedy revealed the existence of Soviet missiles in Cuba in 1962. Then, CIA officer Robert Rayle is instructed to sneak Stalin's only daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva, out of Soviet-friendly India, where she had sought asylum at the U.S. Embassy.

When the CIA learned that Soviet foreign diplomat Alexsandr Dmitrievich Ogorodnik's Colombian mistress was pregnant, they offered him a secure future with her if he would spy for the U.S. Code-named Trigon. Alexsandr teamed up with a female CIA officer in Moscow and became the agency's most valuable spy. Then, after the bloody military coup in Communist-controlled Grenada, the CIA sent in case officer Linda Flohr to be the Oval Office's "eyes and ears" and report on U.S. medical students trapped there.

Based on new research and unparalleled access to CIA files, we present intriguing stories about little-known missions of the nation's most secretive organization. First, we see how the CIA caught a spy within its Counterintelligence Division, as one by one, Soviet agents spying for the U.S. were disappearing in 1985. How do you uncover a mole in your own ranks when anyone could be suspect? Then, we examine "Operation Gold," a bold plan to tunnel under the Berlin Wall where phone lines could be tapped.

In one of the most dangerous missions of the war, a group of O.S.S. officers, dressed as a Nazi platoon, infiltrated Germany without help from the underground - their mission, capture Adolf Hitler. Acclaimed author Joseph Persico uncovers the facts behind "Operation Iron Cross.

This fascinating history of the secret war conducted by the CIA and U.S. Army Intelligence during the Vietnam War is filled with exciting stories about behind-the-lines activity, secret missions, and attempts to monitor the notorious Vietcong.
