Prior to Bill Bixby's death in 1993, there was talks of The Revenge of the Incredible Hulk television film which would resurrect the character.
He believes that the studies of one of the scientists there, Dr. Ronald Pratt (Philip Sterling), may hold the key to curing his gamma-induced condition that, in times of stress, turns him into a superhuman green creature known as the Hulk (Lou Ferrigno).
At the same time, an Eastern European spy named Jasmine (Elizabeth Gracen) is approached by former superior Kasha for one last job: infiltrate Pratt's lab and steal the files on his experiments.
He hides in the lab in wait for his secret helper and catches David, who reveals his true identity and recounts the events that resulted in the Hulk.
He notes that his condition also dives into Pratt's own research on a human's capacity to heal, for in Hulk-form David's accelerated metabolism allows any wound to close in seconds.
Both men, with the help of Pratt's scientist wife Amy (Barbara Tarbuck), construct a force field cage and sensors to track Banner's vitals.
The next day, the facility's board announces to Pratt that they are pulling his funding for his lack of results, which forces him to move up his proposed cure for David.
According to Di Pego, at the film's climax Banner would be forced to recreate the accident that transformed him into the Hulk in order to stop the villains' plans.
