Staring –
2 years after Avengers Assemble Steve Rogers is working for SHIELD in Washington DC & has a US Air force friend called Sam Wilson. Nick Fury sends Rogers, Romanoff and a group of other SHIELD agents to free some hostages. Rogers discovers that Romanoff has been given a secret mission to download information from the computer onto a USB stick.
Rogers confronts Fury back at HQ and is told about Project Insight (3 helicarriers, linked to spy satellites to prevent any threats. The data on the USB stick can’t be decrypted so Fury asks SHIELD official Alexander Pierce to delay Project Insight.
Fury is then ambushed by a group led by the assassin Winter Soldier. Fury escapes and hides in Rogers’s apartment warning him that SHEILD has been compromised. Fury gives Rogers the USB stick and is then gunned down by Winter Solider and dies in surgery. SHIELD Agent Maria Hill takes charge of his body.
Pierce summons Rogers to HQ and asks him about Fury. Rogers won’t tell him anything and is declared a fugitive. Rogers meets with Romanoff and they manage to locate a secret SHEILD bunker in New Jersey where they activate a secret computer which contains the preserved consciousness of Armin Zola. Zola reveals that since WW2 when SHEIDL was founded, Hyrda has secretly operated within its ranks with the aim of humanity willingly surrendering its freedom in exchange for its security. They manage to escape just before a SHEILD missile destroys the bunker and realise that Pierce is Hyrda’s secret leader within SHEILD.
Rogers and Romanoff enlist Sam Wilson to help them. Wilson has a “Falcon” wing back pack which lets him fly. They fight the Winter Solider and Rogers recognises him as Bucky Barnes from WW2. Hill rescues them and takes them to a safehouse where they find Fury who had faked his death. They realise that Hyra is going to sabotage the Helicarriers by replacing their controller chips.
Rogers broadcasts the plans across the PA system at HQ. Romanoff who is disguisedas one of the VIPs disarms Pierce and Fury forces him to unlock SHEILD’s database so that Romanoff can leak the information exposing Hyra to everyone. There is a fight and Fury kills Pierce.
Rogers and Wilson get onto 2 helicarriers and rep-lace the chips but the Winter Solider destroys Wilson’s wing suit and starts to fight Rogers, but Rogers mages to replace the chip which allows Hill to take control of all 3 vessels and have them destroy each other.
Rogers try’s to get the Winter Slider to recognise him but as the carriers collide he is thrown into a river. The Winter Solider recuses him before running into the woods.
Fury leaves to find the remaining Hyra cells and Rogers and Wilson look for the Winter Solider.

In a post-credits scene the Winter Solider visits a Captain America museum and looks at a display about Bucky.
