Movie Synopsis
Captain America Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) leads the newly formed Avengers and continues to safeguard world peace. However, when members of the Alliance accidentally caused a large number of civilian casualties during a mission, which aroused political pressure, the government decided to manage and lead the Avengers through a supervisory system. As a result, the Alliance was divided into two factions: one led by Steve Rogers, who advocated maintaining the freedom of members and protecting the world from government interference; the other followed Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) Downey Jr.), his surprising decision to support the government’s system of oversight and accountability. The enigmatic Bucky (Sebastian Stan) seems to be a key figure in the Civil War…

“Captain America: Civil War” is a 2016 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Captain America. The film was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, and Anthony Mackie.

The plot of the film revolves around the Avengers, who are forced to choose sides when a government initiative to oversee their activities splits them into two factions.

The film opens with the Avengers attempting to stop a group of terrorists led by Crossbones from obtaining a biological weapon in Lagos, Nigeria. During the mission, the team accidentally causes civilian casualties, which leads to a public outcry and the government’s decision to establish the Sokovia Accords, which will regulate the activities of the Avengers.

Captain America, who is distrustful of the government after the events of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” opposes the Sokovia Accords, while Iron Man supports them. The conflict between the two factions escalates when Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier, is implicated in a terrorist attack and Captain America sets out to clear his name.
