剧中令人印象深刻的是主人公敏锐的洞察力，坚定的信念和随机应变的能力，与高科技犯罪分子周旋时险象环生惊险异常，情节极为精彩。
《防盗者》构思巧妙，悬念迭起，尤其是剧中层出不穷的高科技在当时看来不可思议，现在却大部分都已经得到广泛应用，比如PDA、GPS、声控计算机、图形密码等等。
至于另外一些超前的设想，如能识别声音的炸弹、跟踪特定人的微型导弹、和耸人听闻的能侵入人脑控制其意识的电脑病毒。或许现在没有，但谁能断然否认这些在可预见的将来不会出现呢？
在某种意义上，《防盗者》预示了科技的未来。剧中所提到的高科技犯罪，生物武器的泛滥，尖端武器的扩散目前也许看不出端倪，但不代表这些在不久的将来不会得到某种方式的实现。人类的克隆技术在十几年以前无异于天方夜谭，转眼间就活生生的摆在我们面前。
所以该剧的现实意义是值得深思的，各国在“防盗者”人力物力的投入正在迅速增加，只要科技还在迅猛发展，这一趋势就是不可逆转的。
本剧一共拍摄过4季，央视cctv8《佳艺剧场》播过前三季。
