Security Guard David Dunn (Bruce Willis) survives a terrible train crash only to find himself living his mundane life once again. With his marriage on the rocks and his job not providing him with any satisfaction, he finds himself truly lost. That is until comic book-obsessed Elijah Price (Samuel L Jackson), contacts him with the idea that he is in fact as unnormal as they come. Surviving a succession of major catastrophes has deemed David an anomaly, the type of person Elijah has been looking for all his life. Not willing to give up, Elijah persists in convincing David that he possesses a God-given strength, unlike the weakness that defines his frail body. With David continuously doubting himself, how can he be a hero if the villain is equally as non-existence. Before all the glitz and glamor of the Marvel Movies, this is truly a superhero movie that is grounded in the real world.
