Captain America: The First Avenger

“The one who never gives up awakens.”

It's 1942, and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is a scrawny kid from Brooklyn desperate to enlist. A secret military program offers him a chance: an experimental serum that transforms him into a super-soldier. With agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), Steve must stop Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving), whose own experiments threaten the war effort. Joe Johnston stages the action with pulp-adventure energy and kinetic urgency.
