Captain America: Civil War

"I'm sorry, Tony. You know I wouldn't do this if I had any other choice. But he's my friend." "So was I."

- Captain America and Iron Man

Captain America: Civil War is a 2016 superhero movie based on the Marvel Comics superhero Captain America. It is a sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, and the thirteenth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while also being the first installment of Phase Three.

Synopsis
Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

Plot
In 1991, HYDRA operatives inside the Russian Armed Forces order the Winter Soldier to assassinate a motorist carrying confidential information and leave no witnesses behind.

In the present, Steve Rogers (Captain America), Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), Sam Wilson (Falcon) and Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) stop a terrorist group led by Brock Rumlow (Crossbones) from stealing a biological weapon from a lab in Lagos, Nigeria. During the fight, a hasty action by Maximoff results in a building accidentally being bombed, killing a number of Wakandan relief aid workers.

After giving a speech at MIT, Tony Stark (Iron Man) is confronted by a grieving mother whose son was killed in the Avengers' battle with Ultron in Sokovia. Back at their headquarters, the Avengers are paid a visit by Secretary of State Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who informs them that the United Nations is in the process of passing the "Sokovia Accords", which will establish an international governing body to monitor and police the rapidly growing number of superhumans. The team is divided over the act; Stark supports government oversight because he feels guilty for his role in creating Ultron, whereas Rogers has become wary of government after Hydra infiltrated and manipulated S.H.I.E.L.D.

In Vienna, where the signing of the Accords is to take place, a terrorist bomb kills King T'Chaka of Wakanda. When security cameras reveal the culprit as Bucky, T'Chaka's son T'Challa (Black Panther) vows revenge. Against Romanoff's advice, Rogers and Wilson decide to go behind Ross' back and bring in Bucky themselves. Following a tip-off and a grueling chase, Bucky is captured, and Rogers, Wilson, and T'Challa are arrested for obstruction of justice.

While in captivity in Berlin, Bucky is released by Helmut Zemo, who uses Hydra's trigger words to send him on a rampage. Rogers and Wilson manage to stop him and flee. After coming to his senses, Bucky tells Rogers that Zemo is headed for the Siberian facility where he and other Winter Soldiers were created using the formula he stole in 1991. Rogers calls upon Clint Barton (Hawkeye) for aid, and he recruits Wanda and Scott Lang (Ant-Man) to join Rogers' team.

Stark convinces Ross to let him bring his renegade comrades in, and assembles Romanoff, T'Challa, James Rhodes (War Machine), Vision and Peter Parker (Spider-Man) to intercept them at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Romanoff lets Rogers and Bucky escape in Stark's Quinjet, while the rest of their team are captured. Rhodes suffers severe spinal injury after he is accidentally blasted by Vision.

Stark finds evidence that Bucky was framed by Zemo, and follows Bucky and Rogers to Siberia, and is shadowed by T'Challa. Rogers and Stark reconcile, and as they explore the facility, they discover that the other Winter Soldiers have been murdered by Zemo, who reveals that he is a Sokovian and wants to punish the Avengers for the death of his family. Zemo shows Stark a security video from 1991, which reveals Bucky as the assassin who murdered Stark's parents to steal samples of the Super Soldier serum from their car. A disillusioned and enraged Stark turns on Bucky, forcing Rogers to fight him to save his friend's life. Bucky loses his robotic arm in the fight, but Rogers disables Stark's armor and departs with Bucky, leaving behind his shield, accepting that he no longer deserves it. Refusing to let vengeance consume him as it has the others, T'Challa takes Zemo in alive.

Rogers breaks the imprisoned heroes out of prison. Bucky, sheltered by T'Challa in Wakanda, chooses to be frozen until a cure for his brainwashing can be found. In a post-credits scene, Peter begins testing a "new gadget" while recovering from his injuries.
