Oscar-winning Director Joe Johnston (Jumanji, The Wolfman) brings the popular Marvel Comics hero back to the big screen in this action-packed adventure of good vs. evil.

Steve Rogers (Chris Evans – Fantastic Four) is a highly motivated but drastically out of shape soldier who has been rejected yet again to be drafted out into war. Disappointed with himself and feeling as though he will never accomplish anything, Steve is just about ready to put his dreams behind him and quit, until he is offered to take part in a secret experiment led by Dr. Erksine (Stanley Tucci – The Lovely Bones). The experiment is called Project Rebirth, the aim is to take a weak and sickly body and enhance it into a superhuman body with maximum human potential. In order to prove his extraordinary courage to Dr. Erksine, Rogers steps up to the offer and comes out completely reformed. He is now equipped with incredible strength, endurance and agility. He is now a perfect soldier!

Immediately after the experiment, Dr. Erksine is assassinated by an agent of The Red Skulls dangerous association. Rogers, now a completely rebuilt and reconditioned human being, has the powers to take his revenge and also help serve his country in the meantime, becoming known as Captain America. -M.F.
