Watchmen 2009

Watchmen is a 2009 American superhero film based on the comic book series by Dave Gibbons, and published by DC Comics. Directed by Zack Snyder, and written by David Hayter and Alex Tse, the film stars Malin Åkerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson. A dark and dystopian deconstruction of the superhero genre, the film is set in an alternate history in the year 1985 at the height of the Cold War, as a group of mostly retired American superheroes investigate the murder of one of their own before uncovering an elaborate and deadly conspiracy with which they are all connected.
