Green
Lantern
brings
the
endearingly
popular
superhero
to
the
big
screen
for
the
first
time.
The
movie
has
been
directed
by
Martin
Campbell
and
produced
by
Donald
De
Line
and
Greg
Berlanti.
The
film
is
based
on
the
comic
book
of
the
same
name
appearing
in
DC
Comics.
Greg
Berlanti,
Michael
Green
and
Marc
Guggenheim
have
penned
the
story
and
screenplay.
In
a
universe
as
vast
as
it
is
mysterious,
a
small
but
powerful
force
has
existed
for
centuries.
Protectors
of
peace
and
justice,
they
are
called
the
Green
Lantern
Corps.
A
brotherhood
of
warriors
sworn
to
keep
intergalactic
order,
each
Green
Lantern
wears
a
ring
that
grants
him
superpowers.
But
when
a
new
enemy
called
Parallax
threatens
to
destroy
the
balance
of
power
in
the
Universe,
their
fate
and
the
fate
of
Earth
lie
in
the
hands
of
their
newest
recruit,
the
first
human
ever
selected:
Hal
Jordan.
Hal
is
a
gifted
and
a
cocky
test
pilot,
but
the
Green
Lanterns
have
little
respect
for
humans,
who
have
never
harnessed
the
infinite
powers
of
the
ring
before.
But
Hal
is
clearly
the
missing
piece
to
the
puzzle,
and
along
with
his
determination
and
willpower,
he
has
one
thing
no
member
of
the
Corps
has
ever
had
humanity.
With
the
encouragement
of
fellow
pilot
and
childhood
sweetheart
Carol
Ferris
(Blake
Lively),
if
Hal
can
quickly
master
his
new
powers
and
find
the
courage
to
overcome
his
fears,
he
may
prove
to
be
not
only
the
key
to
defeating
Parallax…he
will
become
the
greatest
Green
Lantern
of
all.
