Ep 1. The Incredible Hulk - Pilot

Dr. David Banner is on the hunt for a cure to the dangerous phenomenon of superhuman strength, but when an experiment goes wrong, he becomes a victim of his own scientific curiosity. As a result, Banner finds himself transformed into a powerful creature known only as the Hulk. Fueled by rage and incomprehensible strength, the Hulk roams the countryside in search of a way to rid himself of his monstrous alter ego.

In the pilot episode of The Incredible Hulk, Banner is on the run from the military and finds himself in a small town where he meets a young woman named Carrie. The two strike up a friendship, and Banner takes a job at a medical clinic to support himself while he works on a cure for his condition. However, trouble comes to their doorstep when the Hulk makes an appearance and damages the clinic.

Along the way, they encounter a young boy who has been kidnapped by two ruthless bank robbers. Despite the danger, Banner decides to intervene and uses his strength to rescue the boy.

The military soon catches up to Banner and he is forced to flee once again. In his desperation to find a cure, Banner visits a colleague who warns him that the radiation from his experiment has irreversibly damaged his DNA.

With the truth about his situation finally coming to light, Banner sets out to find a way to control his transformations and protect those around him from the Hulk's destructive potential. Along the way, he faces obstacles both natural and man-made, all while trying to discover a cure before it's too late.
