Following the global devastation caused by Ultron, the world's governments demand oversight for the Avengers. The initiative splinters the team's two pillars: Tony Stark (George Clooney), haunted by guilt and convinced of the need for control, fully supports the new regulations. Steve Rogers (Brendan Fraser), whose unshakable belief in personal freedom was forged by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s collapse, vehemently opposes them. This ideological rift becomes a personal vendetta when a deadly terrorist attack is blamed on Steve's long-lost friend, Bucky Barnes (Matt Damon), the brainwashed assassin known as the Winter Soldier. Choosing his friend over the law, Captain America becomes a fugitive, forcing Iron Man to hunt him down. The conflict escalates into an all-out war, forcing heroes to choose a side. To bolster his ranks, Stark recruits the vengeful Wakandan prince, T'Challa (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and a gifted, wisecracking young vigilante from Queens, Peter Parker (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). As friend fights friend in a spectacular and devastating confrontation, they remain unaware that they are pawns in a master manipulator's game. The final, shattering revelation will prove that the war was never about politics—it was about breaking the Avengers from within, leaving them shattered and vulnerable to the darkness yet to come.
