Two years after leading the Avengers to victory in New York, Steve Rogers (Evans) struggles to adapt to contemporary society in Washington D.C. However, a conspiracy is soon uncovered that not even S.H.I.E.L.D is able to comprehend, so Rogers – as Captain America – teams up with Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Johansson) and S.H.I.E.L.D agent Sam Wilson/Falcon (Mackie) to face a powerful adversary known as the Winter Soldier (Stan)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A political thriller mixed with, erm, a superhero movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier aims to delivers high-quality thrills and action that should satisfy until next year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron.
