The Plot of Glass
Glass follows David Dunn (Bruce Willis), a man with superhuman strength, as he attempts to capture Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy), a serial killer with multiple personalities. Both are ultimately confined to a psychiatric facility overseen by Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson), where they encounter Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), likewise known as Mr. Glass. Price believes their arrival presents an opportunity to prove the existence of superheroes to the world.
Hollywood Stars in the “Eastrail 177” Trilogy
The cast of Glass includes several well-known actors:
- James McAvoy (X-Men)
- Bruce Willis (Die Hard)

- Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story)
- Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit)

A Different Kind of Superhero Film
While McAvoy and Jackson have both appeared in Marvel films – McAvoy as Professor X in the X-Men series and Jackson as Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – many consider their roles in Shyamalan’s trilogy to be their most heroic. The “Eastrail 177” trilogy is often praised for its grounded and realistic portrayal of superheroes, a departure from the CGI-heavy action often seen in mainstream superhero films.
