SYNOPSIS
Welcome to the explosive new chapter in the
Super Hero franchise that’s captivated the world
for more than 40 years. Universal Pictures and
Marvel Studios bring the action-packed epic
motion picture of one of the most captivating
heroes of all time to a world that’s been anxiously
awaiting it—THE INCREDIBLE HULK.
For decades, the brute strength and touching
vulnerability of this character have captured the
imagination in all of us who are unsure of how to
manage the passions that lie buried within. While
we try to keep our tensions in check, there is a
creature that embraces the pure rage and
limitless aggression—living inside one brilliant
man who finds his alter ego more and more
impossible to suppress.
And you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.
We find scientist Bruce Banner (two-time Oscar®

Primal Fear) desperately hunting for a cure to the
gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and
unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him:
The Hulk.

Banner has been living in the shadows—cut off from a life and the woman he loves, Dr. Elizabeth “Betty”
Ross (LIV TYLER, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Strangers). Living as a fugitive to avoid the obsessive
pursuit of his nemesis, General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (Oscar® winner WILLIAM HURT, Into the
Wild, A History of Violence), he knows that a military machine seeking to capture him and brutally exploit
his power is always only a few steps behind him.
As all three grapple with the secrets that led to The Hulk’s creation, they are confronted with a vicious
new adversary known as The Abomination, a monstrosity whose destructive strength exceeds even The
Hulk’s own. Portraying the human incarnation of this powerful creature is noted Academy Award®
nominee TIM ROTH (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs). As Emil Blonsky, Roth imagines a Super Soldier whose
lust for power manifests itself in The Abomination.
And to defeat this nemesis, one scientist must make an agonizing final choice: accept a peaceful life as
Bruce Banner or find heroism in the creature he holds inside—THE INCREDIBLE HULK. --©Universal
