In his final attempt to free himself from the curse of the Hulk, Dr. David Banner becomes involved in a dangerous international espionage mission that may finally lead to a cure. As forces close in and the stakes rise, Banner faces an ultimate sacrifice, bringing his tragic journey to a definitive and emotional conclusion.

After earth is taken over by an army of robots, the small number of humans left are forced into hiding. In the nuclear winter, only droids walk the face of the earth, in fear of the rumored human resurgence, and in search of a hidden cache of weapons. One robot, his evil circuits destroyed, enters a small town where a robot civil war is taking place.

每次重温这部电影，我都为它纯粹的深度而感到惊喜。不仅角斗士运动令人信服、设计精良，且由优秀演员倾情演绎，而且影片所设定的后文明（而非后末世）世界也刻画得细腻入微，令人信服。简洁的剧本中，没有一处像往常一样，对核战争（或其他类似战争）——正是这场战争将人类带回了封建野蛮时代的——进行粗暴的科幻式描述。影片呈现给我们的是角斗士世界的原貌，没有一句“如你所知，我们的社会在天空之火之后崩溃了”的台词，也没有一丝暗示片名中的英雄们除了角斗士表演之外，还能以其他方式改善人类的悲惨处境。
