Premise

Tom Selleck, filming a scene for Magnum P.I., with Sharon Stone, in April 1984 at the Kahala Hilton Hotel in Hawaii.

Selleck portrayed the series' lead character, Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV. The Magnum character's back-story includes a previous "career" as a former U.S. Navy SEAL. Magnum is a 1967 graduate of the United States Naval Academy. Magnum's specialized training includes acquiring appropriate expertise as a counter-insurgency expert, and also demonstrating additional expertise in lock picking and safe-cracking. Magnum played the field position of quarterback for the United States Naval Academy football team. The Magnum character is depicted to have resigned his commission in the U.S. Navy in disillusionment after approximately eleven years of service, including three "tours" of service during the U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War.

Thomas Magnum lives and resides in the 'guest house' of a posh, 200-acre beachfront estate, known as Robin's Nest, in Hawaii, at the invitation of its owner, Robin Masters, the celebrated-but-never-seen author of several dozen lurid novels. Ostensibly this is quid pro quo for Magnum's services based upon Magnum's demonstrated expertise in quality control of the estate’s "security". Robins Nest is the fictional beachfront estate on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, which serves as the residence of the main characters in the TV series Magnum P.I. In the series, the estate is owned by a renown novelist Robin Masters, who is seldom present at the... This article is about the U.S. State. ... Robin Masters was a fictional character on the American television series Magnum, P.I. He was the alleged celebrity author/multi-millionaire owner of Robins Nest, the estate mansion where Magnum and Higgins resided, and was the owner of the Ferrari that Magnum drove. ...

In addition, Robin’s Nest is guarded by two highly-trained Doberman pinschers, Zeus and Apollo, and all other aspects of the estate are managed by Englishman Jonathan Quayle Higgins III (played by John Hillerman), an ex-British Army Sergeant Major with whom, often as a humorous aside during various episodes of the series, Magnum must "barter" for use of estate amenities other than the guest house and the Ferrari (i.e., tennis courts, wine cellar, expensive cameras, etc.). During early seasons of Magnum, P.I., the voice of Robin Masters, heard only a few times per season, was voiced by Orson Welles.

A recurrent theme throughout the series involves Magnum's suspicion that Higgins is actually Robin Masters. This possibility is never fully substantiated or refuted--Higgins' dual identity remains an open question until the final episode. That he may, in fact, be the elusive pulp-fiction writer Robin Masters is a pet theory of Magnum's, and one that the other characters do not particularly embrace, until the series finale.

Magnum lives a "dream" (but, in fact a "pseudo-dream" lifestyle): he comes and goes as he pleases, works only when he wants to, has the almost unlimited use of a Ferrari 308 GTS as well as many other of Robin Masters’ luxuries. He keeps a mini-fridge with a seemingly endless supply of beer, is seemingly surrounded by countless beautiful women (who are often his clients or victims in the cases he solves), and enjoys adventures with his two buddies, both former U.S. Marines he served with in VM-02 (a Marine Observation Squadron operating in Bắc Thái Tỉnh, Vietnam) during the Vietnam War.^[2] The buddies are: The Ferrari 308 GTB (and similar 208 and later 328) were mid-engined sports cars manufactured by the Italian company Ferrari in the 1970s-1980s. ...

• Theodore "T.C." Calvin (played by Roger E. Mosley) (who sports a Da Nang baseball cap, and who occasionally calls Higgins "Higgie-baby"), a helicopter pilot who operates a tourist charter business called Island Hoppers, wherein he pilots a Hughes 500D helicopter, "decked out" with distinctive livery. T.C.'s combat-trained flight skills are often solicited and put to good use by Magnum during the course of an investigation. T.C. is also powerfully built, a trait which Magnum often benefits from when he expects to, and often does, run into 'physical trouble'. With the exception of some early season 1 episodes, T.C. avoids alcohol, instead preferring milk, soda, or juice, but mostly coffee.

• Orville Wilbur Richard “Rick” Wright^[3] (Larry Manetti), a suave playboy who is manager of the King Kamehameha Club, an exclusive beachfront members-only club. In the pilot, Rick owned Rick’s Cafe Americaine (a.k.a. "The Snow Palace"), a reference to Casablanca. Rick also maintains a number of underworld contacts (one of whom is Francis “Icepick” Hofstetler, played by Elisha Cook Jr., a loan shark, gang boss, and Rick’s stepfather), and is an expert in weaponry—he was T.C.’s door gunner during the war.
