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' (Reynolds).

"Hal is a gifted and 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), and 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 them all..."

"All the main characters are there," said director Campbell. "It's a complex story."
