Synopsis

A scrawny soldier becomes a symbol of hope as he takes on a superpowered enemy bent on world domination

During World War II, a frail but determined Steve Rogers volunteers for a top-secret military experiment that transforms him into the super-soldier Captain America. As he takes the fight directly to the Nazis, he faces off against Johann Schmidt, a ruthless Hydra leader who wields the cosmic power of the Tesseract. With the world on the brink, Rogers must lead a daring mission to stop Hydra’s global assault and confront the cost of becoming a hero.

Why To Watch Captain America: The First Avenger?

JustWatch Editor

Essential viewing for every Marvel fan

This superhero origin story sets the emotional groundwork for the entire MCU, even though it was the fifth film in the franchise. Chris Evans' Steve Rogers is earnest, painfully sincere, and completely unforgettable once you're invested in his story. The first time, the pacing can feel somewhat sluggish. On a second watch, you start to appreciate the retro-war aesthetic, the early Hydra weirdness, and Cap's dedication a lot more. It's a movie that rewards patience, especially after you've seen where the MCU goes. Once you're in the Marvel swing of things, this film becomes essential viewing.

A must-see staple of the MCU

Captain America: The First Avenger is a must-see for Marvel fans since it's one of the MCU's foundational films. As part of Phase 1, it sets the stage for the cinematic universe and provides the origin story for one of its longstanding heroes, Captain America (Chris Evans). Captain America: The First Avenger's historical setting and superhero premise make it appealing to any fan of modern-day superhero movies, WWII movies like Rocketeer, or underdog tales like The Karate Kid. While it can be nostalgic viewing for MCU fans, it's also a top-notch superhero movie that stands well on its own.
