Set in the spirit of L. Frank Baum's classic, "Tin Man" follows the adventures of waitress/part-time student DG as she travels through the mystical world of "The O. Z. (Outer Zone)", discovering her hidden past. This well-known story takes a twist in this SyFy adaptation as DG battles sorceress Azkadellia with help from three friends: Glitch, a former advisor to the Queen whose brain has been removed; Raw, a psychic empath; and Wyatt Cain, a former policeman (aka Tin Man) who has been imprisoned in an iron suit, forced to watch his family's destruction time and time again. Although parallels can be made to the original book, this story takes its own path down the yellow brick road.

Tin Man Preview: Take a Trip to a Dark New Oz

The four travelers seem so familiar. One lacks courage, one has no brain, one lost his heart, and the other was brought here by a tornado. But as these ragtag pals traipse through the forest in search of their destinies, they don't break into song or meet sweet, helium-voiced witches in big, poufy ball gowns. They are in the O.Z. — aka the Outer Zone — a dictator state where bullets fly, people are horridly tortured and pros­titutes peddle instant gratification on the roadside for "reasonable rates." This isn't L. Frank Baum's nightmare. It's Tin Man (Sunday, Dec. 2 through Tuesday, Dec. 4 at 9 pm/ET), a radical Sci Fi Channel adaptation of his beloved book The Won­derful Wizard of Oz. And though it was filmed near Vancouver amid idyllic sur­roundings — snowcapped peaks, placid lakes — make no mistake: This six-hour, three-night redo wants to slap us out of our over-the-rai

Neal McDonough: Sci Fi's Tin Man Is a Family Man

Actor Neal McDonough (Traveler) based his decision to take on the lead in Sci Fi's anticipated Oz-take, Tin Man (premiering Dec. 2 at 9 pm/ET), on atypical reasons: "For me, having two babies now and the most beautiful wife in the world — wonderful wife, best friend, everything — I had to think about that," he told TV Guide at the media premiere. "Every decision I make now is 100 percent about my family, for (Tin Man) Wyatt Cain it was the same thing and he had it taken away from him." McDonough and his wife, Ruve Robinson, have two children, 2-year-old Morgan and 6-month-old Catherine. Tin Man definitely has its roots in L. Frank Baum's classic, but with a decidedly darkly modern take as follows a young girl named D.G., played by Zooey Deschanel, who finds herself in "The O.Z." or the Outer Zone. It was McDon
