Samaritan (2022)
In Samaritan, Granite City was once protected by a vigilante superhero known as Samaritan, who supposedly died in a battle with his greatest foe, Nemesis. Sam Cleary, a boy who believes Samaritan is still alive, lives with his mother living in poverty and struggling to make ends meet. When Sam accepts a job from a gang leader that goes sideways, Sam is attacked by the gang until a garbage collector shows up and single-handedly stops the gang's attack. The garbage collector, known as Joe Smith, exhibits superhuman strength in this heroic act, which leads the young boy to believe the older man is Samaritan.
