In a stunning visual homage to the classic serials of the 1930s, Kerry Conran directs this action-thriller set in an alternate, retro-futuristic world. When a series of mysterious, giant robots suddenly attack New York City, ace pilot and daring adventurer Sky Captain (played by Jude Law) is called into action. Teaming up with his former flame, intrepid newspaper reporter Polly Perkins (portrayed by Gwyneth Paltrow), the duo must unravel the sinister plot behind the mechanical invasion. Their investigation leads them to the mysterious Dr. Totenkopf, a reclusive scientific genius whose ultimate plan threatens the very future of humanity. From the towering skyscrapers of a fantastical Manhattan to the depths of a hidden jungle island, Sky Captain and Polly are joined by a mysterious British naval commander (played by Angelina Jolie) in a race against time to stop a world-ending catastrophe. Blending live-action performances with groundbreaking, all-digital backdrops, the film delivers a thrilling, visually spectacular adventure that captures the spirit of classic pulp fiction.
