The film is about the classic superhero Captain America, who is frozen in suspended animation and awakes to lead a team of superheroes, including Iron Man, Giant Man, Wasp, Thor and Black Widow, to foil an... invasion by aliens known as the Chitauri. In the last days of World War II in the European Theatre, Steve Rogers, a U.S. soldier, known as Captain America due to being enhanced with the "Super-Soldier Serum", prevents a missile launch by Nazis, which are soon revealed to be shape-shifting extraterrestrials led by one taking the form of SS officer Herr Kleiser. The missile explosion, however, sends Rogers into a catatonic state, and he falls into the icy waters of the North Atlantic, presumed dead.
