Hancock is an alcoholic, reckless superhuman imbued with flight, invulnerability, and super-strength. Acting as a haphazard superhero in Los Angeles, he is often ridiculed and hated by the public for his drunken and careless acts, and becomes enraged when called an “asshole”. Will Smith rescues Ray Embrey, a public relations specialist, from an oncoming train, which he irrationally derails to save Ray. Thankful and seeing him as a career opportunity, Ray offers to help improve Hancock’s public image. Hancock meets Ray’s family, his son Aaron, who is a fan, and his wife Mary, who is suspicious of Hancock.
Ray encourages Will Smith to issue a public apology, and then go to prison for a time, until Los Angeles needs him properly. Hancock reluctantly agrees, struggling to fit in at prison, and quickly causes trouble when he assaults two fellow inmates that resent the fact he put them in prison. Will Smithis visited by Ray, encouraging him to be patient but when he hears he might be in for 8 years he starts to break out. Ray persuades him to stay inside and stick to the plan. Hancock is later visited by Mary and Aaron who bring him homemade spaghetti with meatballs.
The Los Angeles’ crime rate rises and Will Smith is eventually released to help. He foils a bank robbery orchestrated by Red Parker, with Hancock slicing off his hand to prevent him from activating a dead man’s switch. He is praised as a hero and becomes popular.
Hancock has dinner with Ray and Mary, and reveals that he is amnesiac and an immortal, having woken up in a hospital 80 years ago with no memory of his identity. He had awakened in a hospital with doctors telling him that he was stopping a mugging and was clubbed in the head. Ray tells Hancock that Mary is Aaron’s stepmother and that his biological mother had died in childbirth. Carrying a drunk Ray home, Hancock kisses Mary, who kisses him back but then throws him through the wall, revealing that she has superpowers, too.
The next day, Hancock and Mary speak in private. Mary claims in the past there were more like them – sometimes called angels or gods by other – but no longer. They have lived for three thousand years and are soulmates. The other Angels/ gods paired up, lived human lives and then died. Hancock flies away to inform Ray of Mary’s kissing him, only for Mary to chase him and incite a violent battle across the city. Ray witnesses the fight, later confronting the duo. Mary admits Will Smith is actually her husband from the past, but that she chose to quietly leave him once he had lost his memories.
After stopping a store robbery, Hancock finds that a bullet has hurt him and he needs hospital treatment. Mary tells him that the closer they are, the more mortal they become. They will lose their powers unless they stay apart. The last time Hancock and Mary were together was eighty years ago when Hancock was attacked.
Parker, who escaped prison with several other criminals, attacks the hospital to get revenge. Mary is caught in the crossfire and injured. Hancock recovers, killing the criminals, but is further injured, when Parker shoots him. He is saved by Ray, who cuts off Parker’s other hand with a fire axe before killing him as well. Will Smith throws himself out of the hospital, trying to increase his distance from Mary so that she can recover, before flying off towards the Moon.
