The Watchmen October 19, 2012

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents The Watchmen. Based on one of the most seminal graphic novels ever written, Alan Moore’s Watchmen is more of an investigation of the nature of power than a mere comic book (originally released in 1986 as a series of twelve issues). Directed by Zack Snyder, the film is set in an alternate history during the 1980s where the U.S. has won the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon is President as the Cold War threatens to escalate. As anti-vigilante sentiment grows, the Watchmen must rally to prevent nuclear catastrophe.
