David
Dunn's (Bruce Willis) marriage with Audrey (Robin Wright
Penn)is crumbling, and he's thinking of moving to New York.
Then when he's coming home from a job interview, his train
derails and he is the only survivor. More than that, he
doesn't have a scratch on him.
David is contacted by Elijah Price (Samuel L Jackson), who
runs a comic book art gallery and suffers from a genetic
condition that makes his bones very easy to break. Elijah
has been a comic book fan all his life, and has developed
a theory that they are what remains of an ancient system
of storytelling, and the superheroes they are about are
based on real people. Elijah believes David may be one of
these people. He has hardly ever been injured or sick, and
he has tremendous strength, plus an uncanny ability to tell
if someone is about to or has done something bad. David
doesn't know what to think about the theory, or Elijah himself.
However, events soon conspire to convince him he may be
a superhero after all. |
