Star Movies to premiere ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’

19 March 2015

 Star Movies will present the television premiere of the Marvel superhero film ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ on 22 March at 1 and 9 pm.

The film is the sequel to ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ and picks up from the aftermath of the invasion of New York with The Avengers, where Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, is trying to ‘blend in’.
Captain America gets involved in a conspiracy that puts the safety of the entire world at risk. He joins forces with his friends to beat the odds as they battle the Winter Soldier. The real threat of Hydra is revealed as the sinister plans unfold.
Star Movies has undertaken a marketing campaign for the premiere. On Twitter, fans of the franchise will witness the havoc created by Hydra and be surprised by messages that are from 20 years hence. The Hydra attack on Star Movies will see the Twitter feed plunge into the future, claims the channel.
“Captain America is trying his best to help Star Movies recover completely, but he needs help. Star Movies is on the lookout for agents to team up with Captain America and help tweet them back in time, to the present, using #CaptainAmericaonStarMovies,” the channel states.
The agent who will successfully help Captain America in defeating Hydra will win a Harley-Davidson Street 750 motorcycle, the ride of choice for Captain America. The hunt for the agents is happening on Star Movies’ Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as in Jet aircrafts, PVR Cinemas, and Gold’s Gym outlets across the country.
