In March 1942, Nazi officer Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) and his men invade Tønsberg, Norway, to steal a mysterious tesseract possessing untold powers. In New York City, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is rejected for World War II military duty due to various health and physical issues. While attending an exhibition of future technologies with his friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Rogers again attempts to enlist. Having overheard Rogers' conversation with Barnes about wanting to help in the war, Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) allows Rogers to enlist. He is recruited as part of a "super-soldier" experiment under Erskine, Colonel Chester Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones), and British agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). Phillips is unconvinced of Erskine's claims that Rogers is the right person for the procedure but relents after seeing Rogers commit an act of self-sacrificing bravery. The night before the treatment, Erskine reveals to Rogers that Schmidt underwent an imperfect version of the treatment, and suffered side-effects.

IMDB Rating: 7.2/10

In Europe, Schmidt and Dr. Arnim Zola (Toby Jones) successfully harness the energies of the tesseract, intending to use the power to fuel Zola's inventions. Schmidt, having discovered Erskine's location, dispatches an assassin to kill him. In America, Erskine subjects Rogers to the super-soldier treatment, injecting him with a special serum and dosing him with "vita-rays". After Rogers emerges from the experiment taller and muscular, one of the attendees kills Erskine, revealing himself as Schmidt's assassin, Heinz Kruger (Richard Armitage). Rogers pursues and captures Kruger but the assassin commits suicide via cyanide capsule before he can be interrogated.

With Erskine dead and the super-soldier formula lost, U.S. Senator Brandt (Michael Brandon) has Rogers tour the nation in a colorful costume as "Captain America" to promote war bonds rather than allow scientists to study him and attempt to rediscover Erskine's formula. In Italy 1943, while on tour performing for active servicemen, Rogers learns that Barnes' unit was lost in battle against Schmidt's forces. Refusing to believe that Barnes is dead, Rogers mounts a solo rescue attempt with Carter and Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) flying him behind enemy lines. Rogers infiltrates the fortress belonging to Schmidt's HYDRA organization, freeing Barnes and the other captured soldiers. Rogers confronts Schmidt who reveals his face to be a mask, removing it to display the red, skull-like face that earned him the sobriquet, the Red Skull. Schmidt escapes and Rogers returns to base with the freed soldiers.

Rogers recruits Barnes, Dum Dum Dugan (Neal McDonough), Gabe Jones (Derek Luke), Jim Morita (Kenneth Choi), James Montgomery Falsworth (J. J. Feild), and Jacques Dernier (Bruno Ricci) to attack the other known HYDRA bases. Stark outfits Rogers with advanced equipment, in particular a circular shield made of vibranium, a rare, nigh-indestructible metal. Rogers and his team successfully sabotage various HYDRA operations. The team later assaults a train carrying Zola. Zola is captured, but Barnes falls off the train to his apparent death. Using information extracted from Zola, the final HYDRA stronghold is located and Rogers leads an attack to stop Schmidt from using WMDs on American cities. Rogers clambers aboard Schmidt's aircraft as it takes off. During the subsequent fight, the tesseract's container is damaged. Schmidt physically handles the tesseract, causing him to dissolve in a bright light. The tesseract falls to the floor, burning through the plane and falling to Earth. Seeing no way to safely land the plane without risking its weapons detonating, Rogers crashes it in the Arctic. Stark later recovers the tesseract from the ocean floor, but is unable to locate Rogers or the aircraft.

..:: Italian synopsis ::..

1942. Steve Rogers è un ragazzo statunitense, debole e rachitico, che vuole a tutti i costi arruolarsi nell'esercito per servire il suo paese. Dopo numerosi tentativi falliti, il dottor Abraham Erskine gli offre la possibilità di sottoporsi alla somministrazione del siero del Super Soldato, composto chimico che trasforma Steve in un soldato fisicamente superiore. Il dottor Erskine è però vittima di un attentatore dell'HYDRA, organizzazione militare finanziata da Hitler e capeggiata da Johann Schmidt; Schmidt è stato il primo supersoldato creato da Erskine, rimasto sfigurato in quanto il siero non era pronto per l'utilizzo.

Perduta la formula del siero e mancando la possibilità di creare altri supersoldati, Steve Rogers viene inizialmente usato dal governo come strumento di propaganda per l'arruolamento degli americani. Con un costume ispirato alla bandiera USA e il nome di "Capitan America", viene presentato al pubblico come l'icona dell'America che combatte contro Hitler: partecipa a spettacoli e vengono diffusi albi a fumetti sul personaggio. Steve si sente inutile; quando scopre che il suo grande amico Bucky è disperso decide di ignorare gli ordini e di andare a recuperarlo, con l'aiuto della soldatessa Peggy Carter (di cui è innamorato) e del geniale ingegnere Howard Stark. Distrutta la prima base HYDRA e affrontato il terribile Schmidt, Steve inizia a mettere in pratica il suo vero status di supersoldato, partecipando a missioni militari contro il nazismo, capeggiando un commando di soldati eccezionalmente abili, fra cui Bucky.

Nel frattempo Schmidt ha recuperato un oggetto cubico, una fonte di energia apparentemente inesauribile, legato alla mitologia norrena, che usa per alimentare armi potentissime, intenzionato, nella sua follia, a rovesciare tutti i governi del mondo, compresa la stessa Germania. L'ultima missione di Capitan America sventa i piani dell'HYDRA; Schimdt prende in mano il cubo e viene teletrasportato in un varco nel cielo, sparendo, mentre Steve rimane a bordo di un aereo dell'HYDRA, pieno di bombe, diretto a New York. Per evitare migliaia di vittime, Steve si sacrifica facendo schiantare l'aereo al Polo Nord.

Steve rimane ibernato per quasi settant'anni; al suo traumatico risveglio viene raggiunto da Nick Fury, che gli propone di diventare un difensore non solo dell'America, ma del mondo intero.
