Green Lantern 🎥 2011 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Billions of years ago, the Guardians of the Universe used the green essence of willpower to create an intergalactic police force called the Green Lantern Corps. They divided the universe into 3,600 sectors, with one assigned Green Lantern per sector. Abin Sur of Sector 2814 defeats the malevolent being Parallax, and imprisons him in the Lost Sector on the desolate planet Ryut. Years later, Parallax escapes from prison after becoming strengthened by an encounter with crash survivors who had accidentally fallen into the dugout where he was imprisoned. Parallax pursues and mortally wounds Abin Sur.

Abin Sur escapes, and crash-lands on Earth, commanding his power ring to find a worthy successor. Hal Jordan, a cocky test pilot working at Ferris Aircraft, is chosen by the ring, and transported to the crash site. Abin Sur provides Hal with his ring, telling him to place it in the lantern and speak the oath, before succumbing from his wounds. Hal takes the lantern, recites the oath, and appoints himself as a Green Lantern. The ring teleports Hal across outer space to Green Lantern’s homeworld Oa, where he meets veteran Corps members: Tomar-Re, Kilowog, and leader Sinestro. During his extreme training sessions, Sinestro believes Hal is unable to harness the power of the ring due to his lack of will.

Disheartened by Sinestro’s doubts, Hal quits and returns to Earth, keeping the power ring. Scientist Hector Hammond is summoned by his father, Senator Robert Hammond, to a secret government facility to perform an autopsy on Abin Sur’s body under supervision of Amanda Waller. A piece of Parallax’s DNA inside the corpse enters Hammond, giving him psychic powers at the cost of his health and sanity. Hector develops a personal resentment towards his father, and plans to kill him by telekinetically sabotaging his helicopter at a massive party.
