Synopsis
Hellboy (Ron Perlman) isn't your average hero. Hell. He isn't even your average
superhero. Brought forth by the Nazi's during a sacred ritual towards the end of World
War II. Our hero was summoned by accident when the evil monk of Russian history/folklore,
Grigori Rasputin was meddling with forces that lead to his undoing. With the twisted
and evil monster trapped for another sixty years when things don't go as planned (US
soldiers heroicly intervened). Hellboy is raised by Prof. Trevor "Broom" Bruttenholm
(John Hurt), an expert in the occult. Our demonic hero is initiated in to the Beureau
of paranomal research were he joins the amphibious, kind hearted, and clever fellow
"Freak", Abe Sapien (voiced by David Hyde Pierce). When Rasputin returns once again
with the aid of his minions the meniachal, undead asassin Kroenen (Ladislav Beran) and
the monks faithful lover Ilsa (Biddy Hodson). Hellboy must unwillingly pair up with
John Myers,(Rupert Evans) an idealistic, naive new agent of the Beaureu. Not only that
but the big hunk of an evil basher becomes entangled in a love triangle with the
pyro-telekinetic love of his life Liz (Selma Blair) and his new comrade. Fighting evil
couldn't prove more difficult or outthere.
