FROM IGN:
The film was written and directed by industry newbie Kerry Conran, a CalArts grad. Conran shot the entire picture against bluescreen and wrote his own software to create the film's unique visuals. He says, "The whole movie is a special effect, even a scene with two people sitting in a room. Really, it's a live-action cartoon."
The story is set in late-1930s New York City and follows Polly Perkins (Paltrow), a crack reporter working on a story about numerous world-famous scientists who have mysteriously gone missing. Suddenly, all heck breaks loose and strange flying machines threaten Manhattan while gigantic walking robots trample city blocks. To get to the bottom of it all, Polly joins forces with her old flame and sometime adversary Capt. Joseph Sullivan (Jude Law), known as Sky Captain. He commands the Flying Legion, battling bad guys in his Warhawk P-40. Dashing, huh? Sky and Polly fly to a remote part of Nepal (think Shangri-La) to track down the crazed mastermind Dr. Totenkopf, who wants to destroy the world.
Jolie plays Capt. Franky Cook, an associate of Sky Captain and Giovanni Ribisi stars as Sky's gadget-apt buddy, Dex. Bai Ling also has a small role in the film.
