Overview

Based on the Marvel Comics character, the film will follow the adventures of scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana), who, after being pelted with gamma rays, finds that his anger transforms him into a walking, green-skinned id, otherwise known as The Incredible Hulk. Chased across the country by the military at the command of General "Thunderbolt" Ross (Sam Elliott), the Hulk encounters a man named Crusher Creel (alter ego The Absorbing Man) who can take on the properties of things he touches. Ang Lee's version, set in Berkeley, Calif., includes a love story between Banner and Betty Ross (Jennifer Connelly), a fellow scientist, and his relationship with his scientist father, Dr. David Banner (Nick Nolte).
