Set two years after 'The Avengers' (2012), the film follows superhero Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Evans) who is now living in Washington where he is trying to adjust to modern society. When a fellow S. H. I. E. L. D. agent is attacked he teams up with Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow (Johansson) to uncover a conspiracy and, with the help of the Falcon (Anthony Mackie), defeat a powerful enemy known as the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan).

A follow-up to the very good first Captain America starring Chris Evans is a solid Marvel action film with much more emphasis on character, politics, conspiracy and contemporary issues such as the conflict between individual freedom and state security. The action is frenetic, especially the fight scene in the lift. The CGI can be a bit weak. The film sees the return of Captain America, Black Widow, Nick Fury and Maria Hill with Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, etc. Continuing to do a brilliant job of bringing the characters to life. Robert Redford also stars.
