Mackie, best known as winged Avenger Falcon and the new Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, plays a single father in the post-apocalyptic Rocky Mountains — a trope that’s getting another flogging here, following a decades-long string of movies, TVs and video games that depict Colorado as ground zero for nuclear holocausts, zombies and hostile aliens.
