Director: Peter Berg
Studio Synopsis: There are heroesÉ there are superheroesÉ and then thereÕs Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibilityÑeveryone knows thatÑeveryone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, HancockÕs 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 enoughÑas 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 isnÕt the kind of man who cares what other people thinkÑuntil 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 HancockÕs greatest challenge yetÑand a task that may prove impossible as RayÕs wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), insists that heÕs a lost cause.
