There are heroes… there are superheroes… and then there’s
Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility –
everyone knows that – everyone, that is, but Hancock. Disgruntled,
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 did to deserve
this guy. Hancock isn’t a man who cares what people think –
until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason
Bateman), and the unpopular 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.
