If the lab machines malfunction, Bruce is exposed to a dose of gamma rays . Bruce's health is even better than before as a result of the incident. But the radiation has activated gene sequences that he carries within himself through his father's experiments on himself.
The man who recently started working as a janitor in the laboratory identifies himself to Bruce as his father; the angry Bruce sends him away. Betty, in turn, is contacted after a long time by her father, who, informed by Glenn, inquires about Bruce's activities.
While Betty informs Bruce about the conversation with her father over the phone, Bruce gets angrier and angrier and finally transforms into a super-human-sized green monster, the "Hulk". While Bruce is devastating the laboratory as the Hulk, he meets his father; in Bruce this brings back childhood memories.
Seeing Betty as a danger, David Banner sets his genetically modified dogs on her; Bruce saves her life as the Hulk. After his transformation back, Betty suspects that his transformations are triggered by repressed childhood memories.
General Ross fears that Bruce might repeat his father's deeds; Betty, in turn, advocates that Bruce needs help. Betty throws Dr. David Banner pretends to have given his son fear of life on his way through his experiments. Dr. Banner, on the other hand, is bitter because he lost his job through Betty's father and could no longer develop a cure for his son; while trying to kill his son to prevent further harm, he accidentally killed his wife when she was trying to protect her son.
When Glenn tries to do a biopsy on Bruce in order to profit from his transformative abilities, Bruce transforms himself again into the Hulk; Glenn is killed in his rampage. The Hulk is hunted by the military on his escape through the desert. When he arrives in San Francisco, only the sight of Betty can appease him; he transforms back into Bruce.
General Ross confronts Bruce and David Banner. Dr. David Banner realizes that he can not convince his son to help him and takes the energy from a power line and turns into an electrical monster; Bruce takes on him as the Hulk. A lightning strike teleports them into the middle of the desert, where the duel continues. David Banner tries to use his new superpowers to absorb the gamma powers of his son - but he hadn't considered the traumatic memories he has to receive in the process.
Both are believed dead after General Ross orders a gamma bomb to be dropped. Betty will be under military surveillance over the next year as sightings of the Hulk are still being reported; Bruce himself goes into hiding in the jungle of the Amazon .
