Watch out for ‘Watchmen’
‘Watchmen’ is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed
superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the
“Doomsday Clock” - which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union
- is permanently set at five minutes to midnight.
A scene from ‘Watchmen’ |
When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no
less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to
kill and discredit all past and present superheroes.
As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag
group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers -
Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links
to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future.
Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the
Watchmen?”
The movie is directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Lawrence Gordon.
