Plots(1)
Enzo can't believe his luck when what seemed like a deadly illness after plunging into a drum of toxic waste actually gives him superhuman strength and speed. Now he can finally go from poor low-level criminal to rich low-level criminal - if only the ATM he pulled out of the wall didn't ink all the bills. He stumbles toward a moral crossroads, however, when he ends up saving Alessia, the daughter of his dead co-criminal, from a gang of fame-hungry mobsters and she naively believes him to be her knight in shining armor. Now that Enzo has these powers, he's got to figure out if he's going to remain the deadbeat mooch he's been all his life, or rise to the occasion of being a noble man like the main character in Alessia's favorite cartoon series, "Steel Jeeg." This Italian superhero movie is no glossy Marvel blockbuster, but instead explores the relevant grittiness of the organized crime world, this generation's obsession with celebrity, and the responsibility that comes with privilege.
