Planet Hulk

2010 · 81 min

A pulpy, brisk animated gladiator adventure with plenty of bone-crunching action and a surprisingly somber undercurrent of exile and survival.

Directed by: Sam Liu
Genres: Science fiction, Animation, Action
Starring: Rick D. Wasserman, Lisa Ann Beley, Mark Hildreth

Tagline: Will he save their world... or destroy it?
Overview: When the Hulk's presence on Earth becomes too great a risk, the Illuminati trick him to board a shuttle destined for a planet where he will be able to live in peace, and launch it into space. The Hulk's struggle to escape causes the shuttle to malfunction and crash land on the planet Sakaar, however, where he is sold into slavery and trained as a gladiator.
