They discover a mysterious coin in the ruins of Mycenae that points toward Solon’s riddle and the fabled "Torch of Truth".

The duo is pursued by a ruthless military force led by Colonel Petrovic, who wants the Atlantean technology for his own gains.

The story follows Angus MacGyver as he teams up with his former college professor, Atticus (played by a typically boisterous Brian Blessed ), to find the legendary lost city of Atlantis.
