The movie takes place after The Avengers, which took place after the first Captain America movie.
Chris Evans reprises his role as the Captain/Steve Rogers, who has mostly come to terms with the new world he found himself in after being recovered from the ice he was encased in after the first movie.
The Captain maintains his belief that that which is right and good is always the thing to do. He also has his strong desire to see freedom for all, even if it means that there isn't complete security.
In this second movie he is joined by Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, who we've seen in Iron Man 2 and The Avengers.
Together, with the help of Falcon/Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, and Maria Hill, played by Cobie Smulders, they find themselves facing the threats posed by The Winter Soldier, as he tries to destroy Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, and SHIELD.
Other notable actors include Robert Redford, Emily VanCamp, Frank Grillo, Maximiliano Hernandez, Hayley Atwell, Callan Mulvey, UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre, and of course Stan Lee makes his usual cameo.
From the story, to the action, to the humor, and on it was a great movie. It was very well made and I really just loved it. I'd go into more detail, but in the name of avoiding spoilers won't.
My only fault in the film is that once you've created the Avengers, why wouldn't Iron Man, Hawkeye, and the Hulk come to the aid of the rest of their group. Of course I thought the same thing in Iron Man 3, but the writers don't seem to agree.
Do yourself a favor and make sure you see this one. And when you do make sure to stay through the entire credits. There are two separate extras in and after them.
