Defendor (2009)
Defendor (2009) is a dark comedy-drama directed by Peter Stebbings, starring Woody Harrelson as Arthur Poppington, a man with mental health challenges who believes he is a superhero named “Defendor.”
Living in a gritty urban environment, Arthur takes on the persona of Defendor, patrolling the streets at night, determined to fight crime, despite lacking any superpowers or advanced technology.
Arthur’s main target is a mysterious figure he believes to be “Captain Industry,” whom he holds responsible for his mother’s death.
Along the way, he befriends a troubled young woman named Kat (played by Kat Dennings), who helps him in his quest. The film blends humor and pathos, portraying Arthur’s delusions with both heart and a sense of tragedy, as his actions sometimes lead to unintended consequences.
Defendor explores themes of heroism, mental illness, and society’s indifference, offering a poignant yet quirky take on what it means to stand up for justice.
