DESCRIPTION

An accidental overdose of gamma radiation creates a mutation in David Banner (Bill Bixby)'s DNA: whenever he becomes angry, he metamorphoses into an over seven-foot-tall, 330-pound, mindless muscular green creature (Lou Ferrigno). Tabloid newspaper reporter Jack McGee (Jack Colvin) begins investigating claims of a giant creature; his investigation leads to the laboratory that Banner was using. An explosion in the lab kills Banner's associate and friend, Dr. Elaina Marks (Susan Sullivan): McGee, who dubs the creature "the Hulk", believes it killed David, too. Unable to explain the truth or control his transformations, David leaves to try to find a cure for himself. Notes: Originally a two-hour movie (aired on a Friday), it is shown in two parts in syndication. This is the first pilot movie in which Ted Cassidy voices the Hulk.
