The movie Hancock, released in 2008, is a superhero film starring Will Smith in the titular role, and Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman as supporting characters. The film follows the story of John Hancock, a powerful, but troubled superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public due to his careless and destructive behavior. John Hancock is a heavy drinker who causes more harm than good while fighting crime, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

The film begins with Hancock saving the life of a public relations specialist named Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) from an oncoming train. As a thank you, Ray offers to help improve Hancock's public image and get the public to trust him once again. The story takes a turn when Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), reveals that she has a mysterious connection to Hancock and helps him realize the true nature of his powers.

As Hancock begins to transform himself from a crude, reckless hero to a true superhero, he also discovers that his past is much darker and more complex than he could have ever imagined.

Charlize Theron is fantastic as always, portraying Mary as a strong-willed and empathetic character that is essential to the plot of the film.
