Directed by
Kerry Conran,
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow revolves around the mysterious disappearance of some of the world's most revered scientists. When an investigation is launched,
Polly Perkins (
Gwyneth Paltrow), reporter for the prestigious Chronicle, and
Sky Captain (
Jude Law), resident flying ace, are at the forefront of the case. Though the mission's perks include traveling around the world, the stout-hearted duo are nonetheless risking their lives with each passing moment, as the culprit is none other than the nefarious
Dr. Totenkopf, and his goal, from what they can gather, is to destroying the earth in its entirety. Luckily,
Sky Captain and
Polly are not alone --
Franky Cook (
Angelina Jolie), the commander of an all-female amphibious squadron, and
Dex (
Giovanni Ribisi), an unparalleled technical genius, have joined them in hopes of saving the planet before it's too late.
Laurence Olivier appears posthumously as
Dr. Totenkopf, via old film-clips "recycled" (or CG-altered) to fit the dialogue and scenes at hand.
