Bill Bixby stars as David Banner, not sure why they changed the name. David is a science guy working on something having to do with muscle triggering, he's interested in the sudden strength people get when they're confronted with these life or death situations- people that have flipped over cars and the like.
David casually decides to irradiate himself with gamma radiation eventually and accidentally takes on a million units when he meant to take 300,000. He breaks down in his car that night and gets mad, transforming into the Incredible Hulk!
This was a made for tv movie that was pretty good. The actors are invested, the plot moves, the cheesiness is fun enough but not in your face. They actually tried, and it shows.
I would assume that the tv show was based on this, and if that's any indication, this movie was met well. And it should've been, it's a fine and entertaining movie that executes the idea well. Especially given the material. 3.5 stars.
