'Zero Hour' Premiere: Anthony Edwards Channels 'Da Vince Code' With Religious Conspiracy Adventure

Anthony Edwards returned to network television with the premiere of "Zero Hour," which borrowed a lot from "The Da Vinci Code" in that it has ancient religious conspiracies and plenty of action. Edwards plays Hank Galliston, who is the editor for a magazine called Modern Skeptic.

He gets pulled into the craziness when his wife purchases a unique clock from a street vendor. Suddenly, she's abducted from her clock shop and Hank and his two favorite reporters are on the chase. They discover a diamond in the clock that has a map engraved on it. The map takes Hank to China, while the reporters head to Germany to track down the clock maker.

It all traces back the Nazi Germany, when the Church appointed twelve new apostles. There are multiple clocks, multiple apostles and something that was pulled up from the waters in late 1930s Germany that needs to be protected at all costs. Oh, and of course there are all kinds of bad guys who want to find them. The ringlearder -- at least as it appears now -- is a strange man with white irises seen in a flashback to Nazi Germany as a baby.

What he wants is a mystery, as is why he still has Hank's wife now that he got the diamond from the clock she'd purchased. But the biggest mystery came at the end when Hank went into a Nazi submarine frozen in the Arctic tundra. There, he found one of the new apostles, and it was a man who looked identical to him.

The zany action-adventure chaos continues on "Zero Hour" every Thursday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
