Story
In a scientific expedition to Thailand, young Billy Batson gets the opportunity to turn into a superhero Captain Marvel from the wizard Shazam , who tells him that his forces will last only as long as the golden idol is under threat. Having found an idol, scientists realize that it is perhaps the most powerful weapon in the world. They remove the lenses that feed it with energy, distributing them among themselves so that no one can use the idol on their own. Back in the US , Billy Batson, like Captain Marvel, leads the battle against the evil figure in the hood, who hopes to accumulate all five lenses, thereby gaining control of super-powerful weapons.
