Los Angeles superhero John Hancock (Will Smith) is a sarcastic, anti-social alcoholic whose good deeds cause mayhem and are so destructive that they are causing the city millions to repair his damage following a "rescue." Citizens are fed up with him, but his image may change after Hancock saves the life of public relations executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman). After Hancock rescues Ray from the path of an oncoming train, Ray takes him home and is determined to change Hancock's lifestyle. But, Ray's wife Mary (Charlize Theron) wants no part of the superhero because he is a bad influence on their young son Aaron (Jae Head).
