“Hulk” is a 2003 superhero film directed by Ang Lee, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. The movie stars Eric Bana as Bruce Banner, a scientist who transforms into the Hulk, a giant green monster, whenever he experiences intense anger or stress. Here’s a detailed summary of the film, including all spoilers and significant events:
The story begins with Bruce Banner, a brilliant scientist working at a genetics research facility, who is exposed to gamma radiation during an experiment gone wrong. As a result, he develops a split personality: his calm and rational self, and the Hulk, a powerful and uncontrollable alter ego.
Bruce’s life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers that his father, David Banner (played by Nick Nolte), experimented on himself with gamma radiation years earlier, leading to his transformation into the monstrous Hulk. David’s obsession with unlocking the secrets of the Hulk’s power puts Bruce and his loved ones in danger.
Meanwhile, Bruce reunites with his former girlfriend, Betty Ross (played by Jennifer Connelly), who works as a researcher at the same facility. Together, they uncover David’s dark past and his connection to the Hulk, leading to a confrontation between father and son.
In the climax of the film, David transforms into a monstrous creature known as the Absorbing Man and attacks Bruce and Betty. Bruce is forced to embrace his inner Hulk to protect Betty and defeat his father once and for all.
In the end, Bruce and Betty go on the run, knowing that they cannot live a normal life as long as Bruce is plagued by the Hulk. They vow to find a cure for Bruce’s condition and prevent the Hulk from causing any more harm.
“Hulk” is a visually stunning and psychologically complex film that explores themes of identity, power, and the consequences of scientific experimentation. With its innovative visual effects, nuanced performances, and thought-provoking storyline, the movie offers a fresh take on the classic comic book character and remains a compelling entry in the superhero genre.
