Two years after the events of The Avengers, Steve Rogers
lives in Washington, D.C. and continues to work for espionage agency
S.H.I.E.L.D., but struggles to adapt to contemporary society. After meeting and
befriending war veteran and PTSD counsellor Sam Wilson on a morning jog, Rogers
is called to help save a S.H.I.E.L.D. vessel from Algerian pirates led by
Georges Batroc. Aboard, he discovers fellow agent Natasha Romanoff extracting
data from the ship's computers, making him question whether he should trust
S.H.I.E.L.D. At S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters, the Triskelion, Nick Fury
introduces Rogers to Operation: Insight, three Helicarriers linked to spy
satellites and designed to pre-emptively eliminate threats. Rogers later visits
the elderly Peggy Carter at a nursing home.
Later, Fury is denied access to information on Operation:
Insight, and on his way to rendezvous with Maria Hill he is ambushed by
assailants disguised as police officers. A mysterious assassin called the
Winter Soldier blows up Fury's SUV. Fury escapes and sneaks into Rogers'
apartment, but after handing Rogers a USB flash drive he is gunned down by the
Winter Soldier. Rogers gives chase, and his neighbor reveals herself as
S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sharon Carter. Fury appears to die in surgery, and Hill
recovers the body.
The next day, Rogers is summoned by senior S.H.I.E.L.D.
official Alexander Pierce. When Rogers withholds Fury's information, Pierce
brands him a fugitive. Hunted by the agency, Rogers meets with Romanoff, and
using data in the flash drive they discover an old S.H.I.E.L.D. underground
base within an abandoned U.S. Army base in New Jersey. They activate a
supercomputer containing the preserved consciousness of Arnim Zola, who reveals
that when S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded after World War II, HYDRA secretly operated
within their ranks. Their plan is to use the new helicarriers to selectively
kill 20 million people whom Zola's data-mining algorithm has identified as
potential threats. Rogers and Romanoff narrowly escape death when a S.H.I.E.L.D.
missile destroys the bunker.

The only setback which
gave me eye pain and headache was the constant ‘camera on feet’ fighting
scenes… chase here and focus there (I think I need to get my eyes checked). Why
can’t they use the track? Other than that, a truly entertaining and exciting
movie! Chris was at his best with Scarlett, interesting comicly storyline and
damn realistic CGIs. Not forgetting, after the main credits, there’s a snippet
of the next Captain America! Yay! It’s coming in 2016! Thankfully watching it
with my Angel’s was a blessing, comforting and knowing they enjoyed it too
especially Tyger. Princess apparently fell asleep midway *rolls eyes*
