300’s Zack Snyder adapts Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ acclaimed comic book Watchmen for the big screen. Set in an alternate universe circa 1985, the film’s world is an unstable one where a nuclear war is imminent between America and Russia. Superheroes have been forced to go into retirement due to the government’s Keene Act, but the death of The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), an ex-hero commando, perks the interest of one of the country’s last remaining superheroes, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley).
