"The Incredible Hulk" kicks off an all–new, explosive and action–packed epic of one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Living in the shadows — cut off from a life he knew and the woman he loves, Betty Ross ( Liv Tyler ) — Bruce Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross ( William Hurt ), and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power, whilst all the while trying to find a cure to rid himself of his rage–filled alter ego. As all three grapple with the secrets that led to The Hulk‘s creation, they are confronted with a monstrous new adversary known as The Abomination ( Tim Roth ), whose destructive strength exceeds even The Hulk‘s own. And on June 13, 2008, one scientist must make an agonizing final choice: accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or find heroism in the creature he holds inside — The Incredible Hulk!
