The Trial of the Incredible Hulk

While traveling, David Banner is wrongly accused of a crime he did not commit and finds himself on trial. As his legal troubles mount, he must also contend with the emergence of the Hulk, who is needed to stop a sinister plot orchestrated by Maxwell Denning and his criminal associate, the Kingpin. Banner must find a way to clear his name and protect the innocent without revealing his gamma-powered alter ego.

As a sequel to 'The Incredible Hulk Returns', 'The Trial of the Incredible Hulk' continued the trend of exploring Banner's personal struggles while incorporating superhero elements. It was generally seen as a solid, albeit standard, television movie continuation of the character, benefiting from the established chemistry of its leads and the introduction of new villains. While not groundbreaking, it was considered a satisfying entry for fans of the series.

• Praised for its faithful adaptation of the Hulk character and the performances of Bill Bixby and Rex Smith.

• The introduction of the Kingpin as a villain was a notable addition, providing a formidable antagonist.

• Some found the plot somewhat predictable and the pacing occasionally slow for a superhero film.
