If the world is in trouble and there's no one else to turn to, it's Sky Captain to the rescue!

When mysterious giant robots begin attacking the streets of New York City, intrepid reporter Polly Perkins (Academy Award-winner Gwyneth Paltrow) is on the story and enlists the aid of ace aviator and old flame Joseph "Sky Captain" Sullivan (Academy nominee Jude Law). Their mission is to find out who's behind these killing machines and stop a plot to destroy the world before it's too late.

Co-starring Academy Award-winner Angelina Jolie as the ravishing Captain Franky Cook and Giovanni Ribisi as the technical genius Dex, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow features innovative state of the art special effects that will thrill and amaze you right through to the action-packed finale....
