Unbreakable
Ok, here's what you probably know already: Bruce Willis stars David Dunn, the only survivor of a train crash. Why? Samuel L. Jackson has the answer and here it is: Samuel L Jackson is Elijah Price, a comic book art store owner so he has a theory that he is more or less a super hero, ie, he is invulnerable and was born that way. Dunn says that's impossible because he was involved in a car wreck in his college days, which ended his football career. Price is a man who has a disorder that makes his bone structure as fragile as glass, and he has been looking for a man who could be his opposite as he feels there is one, and he thinks Dunn is it. Meanwhile, Dunn is an unhappy perosn who really isn't sure what he should be doing in life and it's taking a toll on his marriage, as he has become distant for his wife and son, to the point where he is considering taking a security job in NYC. But he figures he'll explore this possiblity a little further as he benches every weight he has and four full paint cans for about 350 lbs! At his job doing security for a university stadium, he reveals he can sense evil within people just by being close to them. Price is at the stadium with Dunn who makes a motion that a man has a gun. Price follows the man, who leaves after it seems he'll be found out, falls down a flight of stairs, but finds out he had a gun. He's convinced that Dunn is invincible, but Dunn tells him he almost drowned as a child. In a comic book store, Price has an epiphany that Dunn almost drowned because it's his weakness, since he can't swim and takes in water really fast.
In a coincidence, Price's physical therapist is Dunn's wife and tells her his theories, but she says she was in the car accident with Dunn and he was injured. She still loves Dunn and asks if they can reconcile. And they go out on a date, they take it slowly. Later on, at home Dunn's kid points a loaded gun to prove that he is invincible. The kid drops the gun only after Dunn says he will leave and go to New York, which is offering a job at this point. Willis has a flashback to the car accident, he wasn't injured, but he did save his wife. Now convinced he may be immortal, he asks Price what he should do and he tells Dunn he should go to a public place. He goes to a train station and every perosn he touches, he sees their evils. One guy date raped a passed out chick, someone else stole a tip. Then he touches the janitor. He's a real nut job because he killed a guy because he liked his house. Dunn follows the nut back to the house and sneaks in. In it, he finds two children bound and gagged, which he unties. He makes his way to the main bed room, where the mother is tied up, looking catonic. He walks to an open window doorway leading to a balcony. Behind him, the killer pushes him over the railing. Dunn falls on a tarped pool. As he struggles, the tarp begins to slowly slide into the pool. The more he struggles, the more he's tangled. As he's trying not to drown, the two children members reach him with a stick. After he gets out of the pool, he goes after the nut and chokes him until he passes out. He walks out and goes home and tells his wife he had a nightmare as he lays in her arms.
The next morning, the two are talking to the amazement of his son. Dunn pushes the morning paper to the son, which shows the incident on page one, but no one knows who the hero is. Willis motions to the boy that he was the one. Later he goes a showing of Price's comic art and thanks him. Price's mother tells Dunn that there are two villains in a hero's quest: the one he fights with his fists and the one he must mentally fight.Price says all that's left all that's left is to shake hands.
Through the touch, Dunn sees that Price caused three disasters, including the train wreck. Price says he did it because he was tired of waiting for nature to run it's course. And reminds Dunn that he is the polar opposite of Dunn (KNOW YOUR COMIC BOOKS KIDS!). Dunn leaves in shock and gets Price thrown into a home for the criminally insane!
