This is the synopsis of the film, that we had already advanced:
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice they are called the 'Green Lantern Corps', a brotherhood of warriors who have sworn to maintain intergalactic order where each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants them their superpowers. But when a new enemy named Parallax threatens to upset the balance of power in the universe, his fate and the fate of Earth rests in the hands of his new recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Hal is a cocky and talented test pilot whom the Green Lanterns have as little respect for as other humans, who have never before wielded the infinite power of the ring ...
However, Hal is clearly the missing piece of the puzzle they need, because in addition to his determination and willpower he has something that no other member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the support of his fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), Hal will be able to quickly master his new powers and find the courage to face his fears and thus prove that he is not just the one to defeat Parallax ... but you can become the best Green Lantern of all
