MythBusters Season 8 Episode 28 Episode 28

In this episode of MythBusters, the team takes on a series of myths inspired by spy movies and shows. First, they investigate whether a person can actually survive jumping onto a moving train and pulling themselves up to safety. To test this myth, the team sets up a train track and speeds up a train to match the speed of a car. They then have a stuntman attempt to jump onto the moving train from the car and pull himself up to safety, to see if it's possible to do so without getting seriously injured.

Next, the team tackles the myth of sneaking through a room filled with laser beams. They create a mock security room with laser beams and mirrors, and test various ways to sneak through undetected. They also bring in a group of volunteers to try and complete the laser room challenge, to see if anyone can get through the room undetected.

Third, the MythBusters examine the concept of creating an "invisible" car, as seen in movies like Die Another Day. They explore whether special cameras and screens can be used to effectively create a camouflage that can make a car invisible. They set up a test track and bring in a series of car enthusiasts to see if they can correctly identify a car when the camouflage is turned on and the car appears "invisible."

Finally, the team puts to the test the myth of the perfect spy disguise. They set up a challenge where two of the team members must infiltrate a target building, one dressed as a maintenance worker and the other as a delivery person. They compete to see who can complete the challenge in the shortest amount of time without being recognized or caught.

Throughout the episode, the team uses a combination of high-tech equipment, scientific analysis, and good old-fashioned trial and error to determine whether these spy myths are fact or fiction. They push the limits of what's possible and use their creative minds to come up with innovative testing methods. By the end of the episode, viewers will have a newfound appreciation for the art of spying and the science behind it.
