This movie takes place during the time of World War II. One of Hitler's units, called Hydra, is an advanced science division led by Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving). Schmidt has uncovered an ancient power and plans to use it to take over the world for himself, but Captain America (Chris Evans) attempts to thwart his plans.
