About Heroes Don't Wear Capes
When You Are Called To Act, What Will You Do? In 2013, comic book sales reached its highest level in a generation... private citizens worldwide donned costumes as part of a growing real - life super hero movement... and superhero-base movies remained Hollywood's biggest box office draw. What is driving this rising superhero craze in our mainstream culture? The Wright Brothers want an answer. Follow them on an odyssey that begins at Comic-Con, then ends in a search to discover if there are genuine heroes among us. This riveting docudrama dramatizes the pulse-pounding stories of remarkable individuals the Wrights cross paths with in their quest. They represent 4 generations, who play diverse roles - athlete, philanthropist, social activist and soldier - engaging their lives by taking action.
Directed by Kris Wright, Heroes Don't Wear Capes leans on a strong ensemble — Gabe Eggerling, Thom Tran — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2019.
