Overview
My Hero is an action thriller about coming out of your comfort zone. We follow the story of a loner, Nathan, who has been pushed around by life, and his only happiness is martial arts films. He built so many walls around his life that he can’t get out of a routine of a low-level cleaner job at a gym and lonely night-time binges on TV. Until he can’t have enough of his horrible life, he joins a human trial to become a better self. Not knowing what he signed up for is more than a friendly trial to help people. To make matters worse, Nathan is now accidentally involved with a criminal organisation, and he has no answer or defences. Until his alter ego - HERO, spawns out. But Hero, just like Nathan, is full of flaws and contradictions. And the two form an unlikely friendship where perhaps at the end, only one can survive. An action film for the new generation full of adrenaline, fights, emotions and martial arts.
