Plot
One year after the events of “Age of Ultron”, Steve Rogers/Captain America is now leading his own team of Avengers consisting of Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Sam Wilson/The Falcon, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, James Rhodes/War Machine and The Vision to find Bucky Barnes and to take out the remnants of H.Y.D.R.A.

the film opens with them busting a drug deal and recovering some Vibranium-based weaponry. Back to their headquarters, the Avengers get to mingle, both Cap and Sam are ‘bros’. Sam and Rhodes both have a friendly rivalry since they're both airmen. Cap is coaching Wanda into dealing with her powers and losing Pietro, and Vision is dealing with his expanding consciousness. Cap then gets a call by Sharon Carter that her grandmother Peggy has died of Alzheimer's disease and he decides to go to London to meet her for the funeral, he also meets Peter Gyrich who is partnered with Sharon.

Cap then returns to the U.S where Romanoff gives him some info on Bucky. He's been killing HYDRA officials all over the globe, and it's getting hard to keep track of him or cover up his assassinations. Lots of the HYDRA assets he's offed are power players with seemingly spotless records, and the public wouldn't understand.

We then see Spider-Man's first public appearance catching some criminals, which switches to a Congress hearing discussing the matter, with some politicians advocating for the Superhero Registration Act. Tony Stark is in attendance alongside T'Challa, who is acting as a spokesman for Wakanda on the matter of the Vibranium stashes that have been exposed by Ultron's attack. The UN believes Vibranium to be a dangerous resource and wants to oversee its mining and safekeeping, but T'Challa defends it belongs to his people. The usual political intrigue.

Cap and Stark meet to discuss the Vibranium weapon usage and discuss the concept of the Registration Act with Stark supporting it and Cap being against it. they discuss their motives. meanwhile in a H.Y.D.R.A. lair, Baron Helmut Zemo is killing people who have failed him. Brock Rumlow/Crossbones works for Zemo, who tells him that in fact they did not fail him, but needed to appear so, because he doesn’t trust anyone. and it’s time to their plan in motion.

Acting on a tip from one of his contacts, Bucky arrives at a HYDRA outpost in London, where he is ambushed by mercenaries. It's a set-up. The fight spills into the street, where Crossbones arranges a bombing to make it appear as if Bucky caused it. The explosions kills several people and causes widespread damage. Bucky escapes, and the Avengers move in to clean up the damage. The public outcry is massive, and the SHRA is approved. Stark decides to support it. He has learned from going through SHIELD leaks that Bucky killed his parents and wants to bring him in.

On his farm, Clint Barton/Hawkeye is attacked and captured by Crossbones, who kills his wife. He's then taken to HYDRA's lair and tortured for information in Fury's secret network, which only Barton is privy to, but doesn't break.

Cap is then called into Stark’s office where he meets both Sharon and Gyrich, whom he met in London. they confirm that the registration act is confirmed and that Cap and his team need to surrender. Cap says “no”. Stark then tells Cap that he is bringing Bucky down, Cap says that Bucky is innocent, brainwashed and needs help. Gyrich orders soldiers to seize up Cap, but he escapes.

Cap returns to headquarters and tells the others what happened. he gets into an argument with Rhodes, who believes they need to register. They exchange harsh words when the military come to collect them, Cap leaves with Sam, Romanoff and Wanda, while Rhodes and Vision both stay behind and join the Registration Act.

Cap's remaining team set up the Avengers in a safe house while Stark approaches Spider-Man to join the Registration Act. Spider-Man then reveals his true identity to the public - Peter Parker. both Stark and Peter bond. Stark then reveals his team on TV - Rhodes, Vision, Spider-Man, Scott Lang/Ant-Man and T’Challa/The Black Panther with General Ross supporting them. Cap and his team are now fugitives. Their top priority is to find Bucky before Stark does.

Romanoff gets a lead on Bucky's whereabouts and the team heads there, but it is an ambush by Stark and his forces, leading to a fight. Stark has a new Bleeding Edge armor, but Vision holds his own. Scarlet Witch BTFOs some soldiers and Spider-Man, Falcon VS. War Machine, and Cap VS. T’Challa. Scarlet Witch manages to blow them back long enough for her team to escape.

Cap doesn't want to endanger anyone else, but they all decide to stick to their guns and help him. Stark learns from Rhodes about the Vibranium weapons they busted from HYDRA, and Gyrich reports it to his superiors. They accuse Wakanda of endangering global security by not giving them entrance, and tensions escalate.

Bucky finds out about the Vibranium crisis and goes through his old contacts, eventually locating a H.Y.D.R.A. outpost where they storage Vibranium stolen from Wakanda before shipping it off to the other bases to produce weapons. Stark locates Bucky and tries to bring him in, leading to a fight where Bucky gets roughed up, but escapes. With no other option he makes his way to the safehouse where Cap is located, which he is aware of due to his extensive research on the S.H.I.E.L.D. leaks, and tells him everything.

The New Avengers patch Bucky up and he and Steve finally talk it out. We get some exposition on Zemo and the reaffirmation of the Steve/Bucky broship. Meanwhile, Stark reports to his superiors about the HYDRA stealing Vibranium from Wakanda to produce weapons. T'Challa assures that they'll handle it on their own, but the government is undeterred and Gyrich orders the government Avengers to attack Wakanda, which Stark reluctantly agrees to do. Sharon, who is often at odds with Gyrich over his M.O, contacts Romanoff through a secure line and relays the info to Steve, saying she has faith in him.

Meanwhile, Barton escapes from Zemo's hold as we've established.

Stark’s registration team arrives in Wakanda to seize the Vibranium, leading to tensions with the Wakanda military, despite their efforts to maintain peace. Cap’s team of Avengers intervene to stop them from causing an international incident and instead shut down the H.Y.D.R.A. outpost collecting Vibranium. another fight ensues, Maria Hill is outed as mole and sabotages the bleeding edge armour, levelling the game for Cap and Stark to have a big fight. the other Avengers fight as well and spills into the street.

Steve notices that, while everyone is beating eachother, Spider-Man has peeled off and is rescuing civilians. He realizes they're fighting for themselves, not for the people, and they need to work together if they want to stop HYDRA.

T'Challa intervenes and volunteers to assist them in stopping HYDRA because he wants peace between his father's country and the United Nations. The Avengers, however, do not find the HYDRA outpost. It was all a dupe so they'd kill each other for Zemo.

Hawkeye manages to contact Fury and report to the location of Zemo's lair: Switzerland. The Avengers head there and rendzevous with Barton as they mount a massive attack on Zemo's compound. Zemo orders his men to fight back using Vibranium-based, reverse-engineered weapons from the Chitauri and Ultron, and the battle is fierce.

Hawkeye fights Crossbones and kills him with four arrows, one for each of his dead family members. Black Panther kicks ass. Wanda eventually manages to achieve enough control over her powers she rearranges the molecules of the HYDRA mooks weapons, culling the Vibranium's special properties and allowing the Avengers to solo them.

Both Cap and Bucky tag-team Zemo, and fight him. he is then defeated and Bucky moves in for the kill, but decides to spare him and prove that he is more than an assassin H.Y.D.R.A. forced him to become.

Zemo and his men are locked up, and Stark retrieves the location of all of HYDRA's secret bases. The military move in to dismantle the entire organization, arrest its figureheads and aprehend their weapons and technology.

The Avengers are still wanted, but Stark decides to let them go, and Fury and Hill produce new identities for them to lay low. Vision decides to leave the Earth. Cap decides to surrender, but entrusts his shield to Bucky, so he can always remember who he really is: a hero. Cap is arrested. Barton finds out his children have survived and leaves with them and brings Wanda along to look out for her as well. Rhodes is back with Stark. Peter realizes he isn't made to fight in wars, he's there to look out for the common man, and Stark sends him off, erasing his data from the registry.

Stark BTFOs Gyrich, announces he's taking over because Gyrich made illegal calls throughout his involvement with the SHRA, and Carter is promoted to his place. Stark visits Cap and they patch things up, Zemo is locked up in the Raft, Natasha visits Cap and they patch things up, Bucky keeps the torch alive.

In a mid-credits scene, it is revealed that the Red Skull is alive and is working for Thanos, who has somewhat masterminded these events to ruin and break up the Avengers and to gain power.
