The movie opens with a flashback to world war 2 where James Barnes is thrown down a mountain and supposedly dies. We see James wake up strapped to a table where a man in a purple mask is doing surgery on him. The man says his name is Baron Zemo and he has turned James into the perfect weapon. James starts getting dizzy and passes out. When he comes to James seems to be fully committed to Hydra. We cut to the present day with Steve Rogers and Nick Fury trying to start work on the Avengers Tower after the mansion was destroyed during the war. Just then Fury is shot in the shoulder by the man who killed Thaddeus Ross. Steve chases after him and the two start fighting from roof to roof throughout the city. Eventually Steve catches up, gets him to the ground, and takes his mask off to see that it's James, We cut back to the flashbacks of James being tortured and controlled by Hydra while Zemo tries to make contact with the Red Skull. We cut back to the present as Steve processes James still being alive. Just then a man jumps out of a jet and lands next to them and shoots Steve. He says he is Crossbones and was hired to help the Winter Solider kill Nick Fury. James watches as Steve fights this man and while watching breaks his mind control for a little and stops Crossbones. He tells Steve to go and is shot and tasered by Hydra's men and taken away. The movie ends with Steve visiting an old friend named Sam Wilson and telling him they need to save James.
