"Heat Vision and Jack was created as a 1999 pilot for Fox. Written by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab, directed by Ben Stiller, this series was passed over by Fox despite critical acclaim from those who've been lucky enough to see it.
The 30 minute pilot is about an astronaut (played by Jack Black) with a medical secret who is on the run from the evil Ron Silver and the rest of NASA, with the help of a talking motorcycle called Heat Vision (voiced by Owen Wilson)."

There can be only one victor in this classic story of Man versus Missle Command

Be not afraid
Be not afraid of the spooks,
of the ones that would have your hearts burn with hatred.
Be not afraid of the ghosts
who would have you build your own prison walls
with evermore pace and frenzy.
Be Still.
And love shall uncloak the thieves that have stolen our innocence.
