Lang needs a job so that he can see his daughter Hank wants to prevent people from turning his technology into a weapon Hope wants to prove herself to her dad Cross wants to impress his former mentor Luis wants to take care of his crew. It’s very funny, but it’s also an action film, and the action is all rooted in relationships and emotion, presented at a level that children can understand. If you liked Guardians of the Galaxy and Iron Man, you’ll probably like Ant-Man it hits some of the same notes, though it actually owes more to classic heist movies, specifically the trope of having a team of specialized agents who each carry out a particular part of the mission in this case, some of the “agents” are colonies of ants, chosen for their particular skills. Pym’s estranged daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly) joins the effort along with a couple of Luis’ criminal associates, Kurt (Dave Dastmalchian) and Dave (T.I.).

The operation requires Lang to use Pym’s tech to become the new Ant-Man, shrinking to insect-size and commanding armies of ants. His former cellmate, Luis (Michael Peña, hilariously stealing every scene he’s in) has a hot tip that results in Lang getting hired to help scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) steal back his shrinking technology from his former protegé, Darren Cross (Corey Stoll).

Scott Lang, recently released from prison for a “Robin Hood” act of burglary, can’t find a job. Marvel’s twelfth film Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, an ex-con recruited to carry out an act of industrial espionage in a super-hero variation on Ocean’s 11.
