SuperBob

A fragment from an asteroid crashes into Peckham and collides with Robert 'Bob' Kenner, jolting him with extraordinary abilities. He initially tries to figure out how to control and live with these powers in isolation. The event marks the sudden end of his quiet, ordinary life and the start of a new, perilous identity.

Bob struggles to manage his new abilities, experimenting in private while keeping his postman routine. The powers feel unpredictable, and he keeps a low profile to avoid drawing attention. The tension between everyday life and newfound potential begins to mount.

A reckless moment sends Bob careening into The Shard, forcing a public confrontation with his power. He is compelled to surrender to authorities, catalyzing a transition from ordinary citizen to a public symbol. The incident thrusts him onto the national stage as a possible weapon or asset.

The Ministry of Defence steps in and formally trains Bob, shaping him into SuperBob, a superhero who operates under state oversight. He becomes a rare civil servant with extraordinary abilities, balancing power with duty. The training marks the institutionalization of his heroic role.

Six years pass as Theresa, his ruthless boss, greenlights a documentary to present SuperBob as a normal man rather than a weapon of state power. The project aims to humanize him and keep public perception in check. The transition sets up the conflict between personal life and government narratives.

In Peckham, Dorris the caretaker and Pat Bob's mother become a steady, intimate support around him. Barry, the security guard, rounds out the inner circle and helps keep the peace. Dorris also nurtures a dream of a nursery in Colombia.

Bob reveals he takes a day off every Tuesday and plans a long-awaited date with June, a librarian, signaling his wish to reclaim a normal personal life. The relationship between personal desires and official duties grows more delicate. The tension between romance and duty begins to intensify.

A routine shopping trip with Dorris is interrupted by an urgent MOD call about meeting the American delegation. The summit panels place Bob at the center of international politics and media scrutiny. The involvement of the U.S. heightens the stakes.

During dinner with June, Theresa blocks their lunch and reveals a political calculation: the MOD wants Bob paired with June because she is American. The moment deepens Bob's mistrust toward the government. Senator Jackson's handshake reveals a darker truth: the U.S. funded a nursery for Dorris and intends to send her away.

Anger erupts as Bob learns of manipulation and he shatters the MOD roof in a dramatic escape. A worldwide manhunt erupts as sightings of the runaway superhero spread across the globe. He becomes a fugitive, rejecting control.

Bob tracks Dorris to a care home, where locals block police entry to protect them. He persuades Dorris to join him in Colombia to pursue her dream and to break free from the state's reach. Their escape marks a turning point toward a new life.

Bob resigns from the MOD and goes freelance, declaring himself no longer the property of the UK. He bids farewell to Theresa and Pat, and leaves with Dorris and Barry under the cover of night. The act resets his life on his own terms.

Bob and Dorris settle in Colombia, building a life of mutual aid and simple goals alongside Barry. The domestic bond strengthens as they pursue humanitarian work and a future free from state power. The world watches as their life unfolds beyond the shadow of the government.

Theresa is reassigned to Afghanistan and scientists chase the meteorite for six years in hopes of tracing the power behind SuperBob, to no avail. The story lingers on the possibility and limits of power. The scientific search remains inconclusive.

The film closes with a portrait of Bob whose power is tempered by humanity and partnership. He and Dorris continue to do good in a world watching them, proving that heroism can be shared rather than seized.
