In "Unbreakable" we are introduced to a new superhero, and his nemesis. The superhero, David Dunn, aka security, hero is portrayed by Bruce Willis. The nemesis is Elijah Price or Glass and is portrayed by Samuel Jackson. Robin Wright portrays Dunn's wife, and Charlayne Woodard, Price's mother.
Dunn survives a train crash, with no injuries, in which everyone else passes away. In then meets the comic book salesman, Price, who convinces Dunn that he has super abilities. He also tells him that he has never been sick, other than almost drowning. They determine water is his kryptonite.
Price has had an opposite life. He is born with a genetic defect in which his bones are brittle. He has been in and out of hospitals, and his mother accused of child abuse.
Dunn begins to test his abilities with his son (Spencer Treat Clark). He lifts heavier and heavier weight. He really is a superhero. He also has a sense which tells him others have done wrong. With this ability he is able to save several people, and makes it into the papers. His wife knows nothing of his training and tests, but he lets his son know.
The whole plot changes when Dunn touches Price and sees the terrible things he has done. I highly recommend this movie.
