A pair of films about a superhero quartet created when four humans take part in an expedition gone wrong is featured in this action-packed collection from director Tim Story. The fire-throwing Human Torch (Chris Evans), the unbreakable beast known as The Thing ($Michael Chiklis) and the elusive Invisible Girl (Jessica Alba) team up with the elastic Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd) in the 2005 film Fantastic Four to take down Dr. Doom (Julian McMahon). In the 2007 follow-up, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the crew gets back together a chilly supervillain (Laurence Fishburne) who is looking to take over the planet Earth. Andre Braugher co-stars in this interpanetary sequel as the antagonistic General Hager.
