Ten years in the making, from conception to the big screen, this unusual, ground-breaking high tech marvel has come to DVD for you to own.

Here's the haps: In a 1930's U.S. that hasn't yet been plagued by WW II, the world's most famous scientists are disappearing one by one, and following an attack on Manhattan by an army of giant, mechanical robots, which she barely escapes, ambitious photo-journalist Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) decides to hook up with her old flame hotshot flyboy and wiseass Joe Sullivan (Jude Law). Together they hope to defeat the robots, find out who is behind them and what he or she plans.

Polly and Joe's investigations send them far and wide in search of the mysterious madman scientist responsible, Dr. Totenkopf (Sir Laurence Olivier, in an amazing posthumous computer-created performance). When the flying and walking robots attack Sky Captain's cool hidden island hide out, they grab his pal and science nerd Dex (Giovanni Ribisi), who is busy trying to track down and jam a radio signal that is controlling all the robot hardware.

Polly and Joe keep arguing about their old relationship all while trying to find and rescue Dex and track down the radio signal and Totenkopf. Finally, they learn that the wacko is planning to end the world from his cool Shangri-La fortress in Nepal.
