Summaries

The Sliders land on a world reminiscent of "Mad Max" where water is so scarce, it's worth its weight in gold. Rumors of a lost society piques the sliders' interest and they go in search of that hidden treasure. -Fox

After landing in a world where water is scarce, the Sliders come to the aid of a mysterious young woman who's been the virtual slave of a thug who wants to to exploit her gift: the uncanny ability to find water. -TV Guide

Alternate Earths

62. Mad Max Earth

All the surface water of this Earth has dried up. Civilization now consists of "tribes" fighting over water, supplies, or anything else of value.

One tribe lives in what has become known as the Lost City of Aquarius--a hidden village of abundant water and lush vegetation. Some members of this tribe have the ability to locate underground water, a very handy (and sought after) technique.

Notes

• During the filming of this episode, Ken Steadman was killed and Christopher Maleki was injured when their dune buggy flipped over. After a one week delay in filming, the episode was completed with a stand in for Ken Steadman's character.

  So if you were wondering why Cutter looks so different in the last ten minutes of this episode, now you know.
