Justice is coming to all of us. No matter what we do.
An adaptation of Alan Moore's landmark comic book series, Watchmen is set in
a gritty and alternate 1985 America, in which costumed superheroes are part of
the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday Clock – which charts the
USA's tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to
midnight.
When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less
determined masked vigilante Rorschach, sets out to uncover a plot to kill and
discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former
crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of
whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing
conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the
future. Their mission is to watch over humanity; but who is watching the
Watchmen?
