The Incredible Hulk

During an experiment gone bad, radiation turns a scientist into a raging green behemoth whenever he becomes agitated. Unable to control his transformations, David Banner searches for a cure as he crosses the country, fugitive-style, with a dogged tabloid reporter on his trail.

Directed by Kenneth Johnson, The Incredible Hulk leans on a strong ensemble — Bill Bixby, Lou Ferrigno, Jack Colvin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about sci-fi & fantasy titles of 1977.
