Watchmen

Justice is coming to all of us. No matter what we do.

A bleak, intellectually demanding deconstruction of superhero mythology set against Cold War dread, where moral ambiguity and existential stakes override heroic redemption.

In a gritty and alternate 1985, the glory days of costumed vigilantes have been brought to a close by a government crackdown. But after one of the masked veterans is brutally murdered, an investigation into the killer is initiated. The reunited heroes set out to prevent their own destruction, but in doing so they uncover a sinister plot that puts all of humanity in grave danger.
