Watchmen (sh. Čuvari) je američki science fiction film snimljen 2009. godine u režiji Zacka Snydera. Predstavlja adaptaciju istoimenog stripa Alana Moorea i Davea Gibbonsa. Radnja se događa u alternativnom historijskom univerzumu 1985. godine u kojem superheroji i maskirani osvetnici, nakon tajanstvenog ubistva jednog od njih nastoje razotkriti globalnu zavjeru, dok istovremeno eskalira Hladni rat i prijeti izbijanjem apokaliptičnog nuklearnog sukoba. Watchmen se pokušavao snimati dugo godina, ali su ekranizaciju priječile kako komplikacije oko autorskih prava, tako i komplicirani zaplet i potreba za skupim specijalnim efektima. Snyder je film uspio snimiti nedugo nakon izuzetnog uspjeha sa filmom 300, u kome je također bio ekranizirao naizgled "nefilmičan" strip. Za razliku od 300, koji je koristio isključivo zeleni ekran. U Watchmen su, međutim, djelomično korištene konvencionalne tehnike, a što ga je učinilo jednim od skupljih filmova svog doba. Na kino-blagajnama nije postigao naročiti uspjeh, a kritike su bile mlake. Među poklonicima originalnog stripa je izazvao duboke podjele između onih koji ga smatraju za Hollywood neobično vjernom adaptacijom i onih koji smatraju da je Snyder u potpunosti promašio poantu.
