Welcome to a forgotten corner of the ancient forest.
Well only just. The story is complete garbage of course however the science underlying the machine that supposedly triggers the change in Bruce Banner, a Gamma Sphere, is real science.
The Gamma Sphere is in Berkeley University's low-energy nuclear physics lab. Here is an image of the real Gamma Sphere.
It actually detects Gamma rays and doesn't emit them but that is a small obstacle for Sci-Fi writers. Below is an image from the film where Bruce seems particularly upset with his Gamma Sphere.
You can find out more about Gamma Spheres in this article in Nature

A friend of mine once said to me, "it doesn't matter how much money you have, you merely adjust your lifestyle to suit" He's right.
Happy Yule to you. Blessed Be
