The Dark Knight is a 2008 thriller starring Christian Bale,Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Freeman,Micheal Caine,Gary Oldman,Aaron Eckhart and Heath Ledger(who sadly passed away a few months after the film was released at the age of 28 from an accidental drug overdose).
Set a year after the events of Batman Begins (2005), Batman(Bale), Lieutenant James Gordon(Oldman), and new District Attorney Harvey Dent(Eckart) successfully begin to round up the criminals that plague Gotham City, until a mysterious and sadistic criminal mastermind known only as "The Joker" (Ledger) appears in Gotham, creating chaos. Batman's struggle against The Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront everything he believes" and improve his technology to stop him. A love triangle develops between Bruce Wayne, Dent, and Rachel Dawes.
Overall it was a very good film that should be watched at least once a year. The cinematography is very dark and gritty and the acting is on par especially Heath Ledger as The Joker.
