Sky High is the perfect mixture of superhero and teen movies. He struggles not only to live up to their legacy but also with the ins and outs of a high school social life. The son of famous All-American heroes The Commander ( Kurt Russell) and Jetstream ( Kelly Preston), Will is embarrassed that his powers haven’t manifested yet and worries that he’ll disappoint them. In a world where the existence of superheroes and villains is normalized, Sky High follows Will Stronghold ( Michael Angarano) as he starts his first year at a special school where super powered youths learn how to use their abilities.
Before the days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney dipped its toe into live-action superhero movies with the 2005 film Sky High.
