What happens

Justice League of America is a 1997 American superhero television film and an unsuccessful pilot produced by CBS and directed by Félix Enríquez Alcalá and Lewis Teague (though the latter went uncredited), based on a team of fictional DC Comics superheroes from the comic of the same name. The film aired on CBS on December 28, 1997. It centers on Tori Olafsdotter, a female meteorologist who gains superpowers and is later inducted into the "Justice League", while the city of New Metro is held for ransom by a terrorist armed with a weather control device. The film is interjected with mock-interviews of members of the Justice League, speaking about life as a superhero in the past tense, preceding the events of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
