'''''Green Lantern: First Flight''''' is a movie based upon the poster child for the [[Green Lantern]] comics, Hal Jordan.
In the midst of flight training, Hal is forcibly summoned by a nearby alien who was near death, Abin Sur. Given the [[Green Lantern Ring]], he quickly adapts to its powers, but discovers he is one of [[The Chosen Many]] of the Green Lantern Corps. Taken to Oa, the central hub of the Corps, he is given to [[Sinestro]] to be trained and attempt to prove himself worthy of the ring.
Line 8:
Hal is pulled into the intergalactic politics as he finds Abin Sur's murderer and a conspiracy involving the criminal Kanjar Ro. What he also discovers is that the mission was given a high priority because Kanjar Ro is searching for the dangerous Yellow Element, the only weakness to the Green Lantern powers.
The next animated Green Lantern movie, ''[[Green Lantern: Emerald Knights
