Rescue 911 was an American reality-based television series hosted by William Shatner that aired on CBS from 1989 to 1996. The show featured mostly re-enactments of serious events, with occasional use of actual 911 calls. The show was adapted in 45 countries, and even inspired a pinball game based on the series.
