About Marvel Studios’ DOCTOR STRANGE
From Marvel Studios comes “Doctor Strange,” the story of

a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional
medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely
place—a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is
not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against
unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange—armed
with newly acquired magical powers—is forced to choose whether to return to his
life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the
most powerful sorcerer in existence.
