The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero crime thriller film directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan.

Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), and Police Commissioner James Gordon (Gary Oldman) and their struggles and journey in combating the new rising threat of a criminal who goes by the name of the "Joker" (Heath Ledger).
