- Program Note from publisher

Captain America: The First Avenger is a 2011 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Captain America. In the present day, scientists in the Arctic uncover an old, frozen aircraft. In March 1942, Nazi officer Johann Schmidt and his men steal a mysterious relic called the Tesseract, which possesses untold powers, from the town of Tønsberg in German-occupied Norway.
