In depicting The Hulk as both a superhero and a monster, a wish
fulfillment and a nightmare, Lee and his team have stayed true to
the early subversive spirit of the character created by Stan Lee
and Jack Kirby, while completely updating The Hulk and projecting
it into the dangers and aspirations of contemporary times.
Eric Bana (Blaek Hawk Down) stars as scientist Bruce Banner, whose
inner demons transform him in the aftermath of a catastrophic
experiment. Academy Award' winner Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful
Mind) portrays Betty Ross, whose scientific genius unwittingly
helps unleash The Hulk; Nick Nolte (The Thin Red Line) plays
Banner's brilliant father, who passes on a tragic legacy to his
son; and Sam Elliott (The Contender) portrays the commander of a
top-secret military research center
