There are heroes…there are superheroes…and then there’s Hancock. With
great power comes great responsibility – everyone knows that –
everyone, that is, except Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic and
misunderstood, Hancock’s well-intentioned heroics might get the job
done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping
damage in their wake. The public has finally had enough – as grateful
as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles
are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn’t the
kind of man who cares what other people think – until the day that he
saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the
sardonic superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side
after all. Facing that will be Hancock’s greatest challenge yet – and a
task that may prove impossible as Ray’s wife, Mary (Charlize Theron),
insists that he’s a lost cause.
