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. 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.
