Synopsis:
Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), a brash space adventurer, becomes the target of unrelenting bounty hunters after stealing an orb desired by the formidable evil Ronan. Quill forms an uneasy alliance with four outcasts to escape Ronan: the gun-wielding Rocket Raccoon, the tree-humanoid Groot, the mysterious Gamora, and the vengeance-driven Drax the Destroyer. The actual power of the orb and the cosmic threat it poses force Quill to gather his misfit crew and fight.
