This was the introductory episode to the short lived series Otherworld where we find the Sterling family on vacation in Egypt where some local tries to hold them up as they tour a pyramid. The family makes a misstep and they feel like Dorothy felt when her house landed in Oz.
They've even inherited their own wicked witch so to speak in Jonathan Banks when they are notified they are in the 'forbidden zone' and have to defend themselves. They steal his futuristic vehicle and Banks's access crystal which allows the Sterlings access to all kinds of places. Like stealing Margaret Hamilton's broom.
When they reach a city they slowly realize that these nice friendly folks around are most sophisticated androids. Young Tony O'Dell falls for one of them Amanda Wyss.
Watching this also put me in mind of Brent Spiner as Data who on Star Trek TNG kept trying to become more human. These androids have truly succeeded. In fact Wyss feels the same about O'Dell and helps the Sterlings.
The plot elements for the series are set, the fugitive Sterlings looking for a way to get back to our world and Jonathan Banks hunting them like Lieutenant Gerard went after Richard Kimble.
