Spoiler-free synopsis
During the Second World War, Steve Rogers wants to serve his country, but his health keeps him out of the army. An experimental programme offers him an extraordinary opportunity. As Captain America, he must prove that his true strength lies in his decisions while fighting an organisation with a dangerous technological advantage.
Beyond the experiment and the uniform, the film focuses on Steve's perseverance and his understanding of courage. Peggy Carter and Bucky Barnes accompany him in a story of friendship and service. Its setting combines classic adventure filmmaking with a fantastical version of the period's technology.
