Samson, possessing superhuman strength, battles enemy forces in a military setting, lifting an enemy tank and smashing it down a precipice with ease. He infiltrates an enemy facility, crashes through a window, tears down a guard bridge from its moorings, and lifts soldiers into the air as they scramble helplessly below him. When an anchor chain snaps and a plane carrying a woman named Jean approaches, Samson dives into the sea, using his extraordinary strength to hold an enemy ship beneath the ocean's surface for two hours to prevent it from surfacing.
