SAVING THE WORLD IN STYLE!

The Avengers are back — secret agents John Steed and Emma Peel hit the big screen in a whirlwind mix of robust repartee and dashing derring-do, crossing swords with the villainous Sir August De Wynter.

The weather is no longer in God's hands, the nations of the world are being held to ransom... and one simply can't get a decent cup of tea! Thankfully, those most fashionable, well-mannered and thoroughly British of heroes are back to save the day. Leather catsuits, Savile Row suits, bowler hats, E-type Jags and malevolent would-be world conquerors... it can only be The Avengers.

She's Dr. Emma Peel, an auburn-haired beauty clad in black leather and boots. He's John Steed, the immaculately dressed dandy with the trademark black bowler and umbrella sword. Together they're the hippest, sexiest, and oh-so-deadliest duo of secret agents the world of espionage has ever produced. They are... the avengers

It's called the Prospero Project: an ultra-top secret program conducting weather-control experiments with contributions from the eminent Dr. Emma Peel. Now someone has sabotaged the project, aiding a sinister group of conspirators who hope to control the weather as the ultimate weapon of world domination. The saboteur: one Dr. Emma Peel. Agent John Steed has been summoned to the Ministry by Mother to infiltrate the ominous Wonderland Corporation. To do so, Mother has assigned to Steed the most dangerous of partners: the irresistible Emma Peel. Is she really as innocent as she maintains? Or is she the victim of some kind of evil mind control? Is she suffering from a split personality? Or, even worse, does Emma Peel have an identical double, an exact replica who will use her lethal beauty for pure evil? Steed and Peel have only forty-eight hours before the detonation of massive weather bombs in every major city will signal the beginning of the end of the free world. With time already running out, the Avengers must learn the shocking truth before they themselves are terminated by the diabolical leader of the Wonderland Corporation...or by Mother Herself!
