Thor (2011) Summary

This movie was created based on the Marvel comics character Thor. The stars of this film are Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Natalie Portman (Jane Foster), Anthony Hopkins (Odin) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki). The movie was filmed in California and New Mexico.

Thor, known as the god of thunder, is an imperious warrior who has much to learn about his duties and his future as king. Thor, Hemsworth, inadvertently starts a war with another kingdom. This act infuriates his father, the King of Asgard, Hopkins, who has no choice but to banish him to another kingdom, Earth. This hurts his father, but it must be done to keep the peace and teach Thor the ways of leadership.

Thor is sent through the porthole, stripped of his powers, and lands in New Mexico, unconscious. When he comes to, he finds Jane Foster, Portman, without his hammer. Everyone thinks Thor is crazy except Jane. She sees something in him that no one else sees and convinces her friends to help her get her hammer back. Unfortunately, they weren’t the only ones who noticed the activity in the New Mexico desert. Before long, government agents invade and build an enclosure around the hammer that no one can move. Only he who is worthy can hold the hammer. But Thor was deemed unworthy.

Meanwhile, in Asgard, the king falls ill and Loki, Thor’s brother, takes over. Unknown to the people of Asgard, Loki has been conspiring with the enemy the entire time. Pleas were made to Loki to discard the decision on Thor’s fate and take him home. However, Loki has his own plans and to fulfill them he needs Thor out of the way forever. He informs the warriors that if he returned Thor, it would start a bigger war and make the kingdom appear weak.

Four warriors decide to take matters into their own hands and, with the help of the guardian, they travel to Earth to find Thor. Loki sees this and sends a warrior after them to destroy Thor. Thor must regain his powers and return home to Asgard to fix the mess that started. Thor says goodbye to Jane with a kiss, not before promising to return for her, and travels back to Asgard. Thor must save his kingdom and his father from Loki, and then find his way back to his love, Jane.
