When Shadow Moon is released from prison, he meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday and a storm begins to brew. Little does Shadow know, this storm will change the course of his entire life.

Left adrift by the recent, tragic death of his wife, and suddenly hired as Mr. Wednesday’s bodyguard, Shadow finds himself in the centre of a world that he struggles to understand. It’s a hidden world where magic is real, where the Old Gods fear both irrelevance and the growing power of the New Gods, like Technology and Media. Mr. Wednesday seeks to build a coalition of Old Gods to defend their existence in this new America, and reclaim some of the influence that they’ve lost.

As Shadow travels across the country with Mr. Wednesday, he struggles to accept this new reality, and his place in it.

'Watchmen' and '300' director Zack Snyder returns with this 1950s-set musical fantasy thriller. Due to the machinations of her evil stepfather, Baby Doll (Emily Browning) finds herself trapped in a mental institution, awaiting a lobotomy. Desperate to be free, she escapes into an alternate reality of her own making; a world full of warriors, weapons and weird, wondrous creatures, and where it is her mission to steal five objects in five days while being pursued by an unknown foe. As other inmates from the institution begin to appear in her fantasies, the differences between Baby Doll's two realities become less pronounced. Soon, she and her friends realise that what happens in this alternate world will influence events in the 'real' one. Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone and Jamie Chung co-star.
