Unbreakable Plot
David Dunn could have been a football player as he was a former star quarterback until he left football due to a car accident, even though he was not injured in any way. Now working as a security guard, a few years later he boards Eastrail 177, which suddenly accelerates, derails, and crashes. David wakes up at the hospital, everyone shocked that he survived, uninjured when no one else on that train survived.
A note on his car windshield asks if he has ever been ill and invites him to “Limited Edition”, a gallery operated by magazine expert, Elijah Price. And David soon finds out a shocking truth about himself.
The touch of David’s hands seems to bring to life visions of the criminal acts their hands have committed. As people encounter him in a crowd, he senses the crimes they have perpetrated such as theft, assault, and rape. He finds one criminal he can confront: a sadistic janitor who has invaded a family home killed the dad and is holding his wife and two children captive. David strangles the janitor to death. The next morning, David shows Joseph a news story featuring a sketch of the anonymous hero, whom Joseph recognizes as his father.
Elijah is rescued by David after years of trying to find someone who fits his idea of a superhero. He adopts his childhood nickname, “Mr. Glass,” as his supervillain moniker. An emotional Elijah tells a horrified David, “Now that we all know who you are, I know who I am”, indicating he sees himself as an archvillain and David’s nemesis.
Unbreakable Characters
In the wake of the train accident, David, the protagonist, is compelled to engage in some introspection. He appears to have received a unique present that he didn’t ask for. He cannot recall ever being harmed or ill, except for a childhood near-drowning. David is intrigued by his potential and wants to discover the full range of his abilities before determining how to use them most effectively.
Talking about David’s persona, he has always had a strong sense of morality and justice. David still gets the impression that he is simply a regular guy, despite Price’s claim that he has a heroic destiny. With great power comes great responsibility, something David is unsure he is prepared to handle.
