Captain America: Civil War

A closer look at the story

After an operation that costs civilian lives, the world's governments pass a law that would place all superhuman activity under official control. The decision splits the Avengers in two: Tony Stark believes the team must answer to some form of oversight, while Steve Rogers argues that the heroes should go on protecting people without taking orders from governments. As the sides harden, those who fought shoulder to shoulder only yesterday line up against one another. Directed by the Russo brothers and written by Markus and McFeely, the 147-minute 2016 film pairs Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. with Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie in a superhero action film.
