Zack Snyder Director | previously directed 300 |  |
Based on Alan Moore's graphic novel, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985, where superheroes have now become outlaws in America, but it is only them that can stop a nuclear war between the US and the Soviet Union from destroying the world.
Trivia:
Director Zack Snyder insisted on everybody involved in the making of the movie reading the graphic novel at least once, even going so far as to constantly carry a copy around with his script and use it as a storyboard.
