Watchmen

300‘s Zack Snyder brings Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ highly acclaimed graphic novel Watchmen to the movie screen. Set in an alternate universe in the mid 1980s, the film’s world is a highly unstable one where a nuclear war between America and Russia is imminent. Superheroes have long been made to hang up their tights thanks to the government-sponsored Keene Act, but that all changes with the death of The Comedian, a robust ex-hero commando whose mysterious free fall out a window perks the interest of one of the country’s last remaining vigilantes, Rorschach. His investigation leads him to caution many of his other former costumed colleagues, including Dr. Manhattan, Night Owl , Ozymandias , Sally Jupiter, and her daughter, The Silk Spectre.
