It includes the usual suspenseful and tension-filled narrative characteristic of thrillers, focusing on an ordinary man, David Dunn, who discovers he possesses extraordinary abilities after surviving a fatal train accident unscathed. The film explores themes of identity, destiny, and the nature of heroism, contrasting David's strength with Elijah Price's fragile bones, played by Samuel L. Jackson, who serves as a mysterious and intellectually intriguing counterpart.
