Some intense sequences of sci-fi
action and violence, and languageThere 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. Recent Releases
