Story: |
Sherlock Holmes has made his reputation finding the truth at the heart of the most
complex mysteries. With the aid of Dr. John Watson, his trusted ally, the renowned
"consulting detective" is unequalled in his pursuit of criminals of every stripe, whether
relying on his singular powers of observation, his remarkable deductive skills, or the
blunt force of his fists.
But now a storm is gathering over London, a threat unlike anything that Holmes has
ever confronted - and just the challenge he's looking for.
After a string of brutal, ritualistic murders, Holmes and Watson arrive just in time to
save the latest victim and uncover the killer: the unrepentant Lord Blackwood. As he
approaches his scheduled hanging, Blackwood - who has terrorized inmates and
jailers alike with his seeming connection to dark and powerful forces - warns Holmes
that death has no power over him and, in fact, his execution plays right into
Blackwood's plans.
And when, by all indications, Blackwood makes good on his promise, his apparent
resurrection panics London and confounds Scotland Yard. But to Holmes, the game is
afoot.
Racing to stop Blackwood's deadly plot, Holmes and Watson plunge into a world of
the dark arts and startling new technologies, where logic is sometimes the best crime-
fighting weapon - but where a good right hook will often do the job.
In a dynamic new portrayal of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous character,
Robert Downey Jr. plays the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Revealing
fighting skills as powerful as his famous intellect, Holmes employs his own unique
methods to get to the heart of a case, traveling where no one else would think to go to
find what others cannot see.
