THE GREEN HORNET (2011)
SYNOPSIS
In the 3D action-comedy The Green Hornet, Britt Reid
(Seth Rogen) is the son of LA’s most prominent and
respected media magnate and perfectly happy to
maintain a directionless existence on the party scene –
until his father (Tom Wilkinson) mysteriously dies, leaving
Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely
friendship with one of his father’s more industrious and
inventive employees, Kato (Jay Chou), they see their
chance to do something meaningful for the first time in
their lives: fight crime. To get close to the criminals, they
come up with the perfect cover: they’ll pose as criminals
themselves.
Protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the
vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.
Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in
advanced retro weaponry, Black Beauty, an indestructible
car equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a
mobile fortress on wheels and striking the bad guys with
Kato’s clever gadgets, The Green Hornet and Kato quickly
start making a name for themselves, and with the help of
Britt’s new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they
begin hunting down the man who controls LA’s gritty
underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). But
Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to swat down The
Green Hornet once and for all. --© Columbia Pictures
