Salvano il mondo con stile.
I repentini e violenti sbalzi climatici che sconvolgono da qualche tempo la Gran Bretagna mettono in allarme i servizi segreti, dopo che gli scienziati più qualificati non hanno saputo darvi spiegazione plausibile. Incaricato di svolgere un'indagine, l'agente John Steed (Fiennes) del "Dicastero" - la segretissima organizzazione posta a tutela della nazione - sospetta dapprima della dottoressa Emma Peel (Thurman), impegnata nel progetto di ricerche meteorologiche "Prospero", ma poi, insieme con lei, scopre il vero responsabile di tanti disastri nel miliardario scozzese Sir August De Wynter (Connery), che interferisce sulle condizioni climatiche per mezzo delle attrezzature di un super tecnologico laboratorio. Scatenando temperature glaciali, bufere di neve, invasioni di api meccaniche ed altri cataclismi di biblica portata, il folle criminale progetta estorcere una somma astronomica alle Nazioni Unite ricattandole con la minaccia della fine del mondo.

Uma Thurman
Emma Peel
Uma Thurman stepped into the iconic role of Emma Peel in the 1998 film adaptation of "The Avengers," bringing her own brand of sophistication and physicality to the character originally made famous by Diana Rigg in the 1960s British television series. Thurman's portrayal of the sharp-witted and fiercely independent secret agent was a blend of cool composure and dynamic action, as she adeptly navigated the film's campy spy caper aesthetic. While the film itself received mixed reviews, Thurman's performance was often cited as a highlight, with critics noting her ability to capture Emma Peel's intelligence, style, and martial arts prowess. Her chemistry with co-star Ralph Fiennes, who played the eccentric and inventive John Steed, was a cornerstone of the film, as they embodied the witty repartee and playful tension that fans of the series had come to expect. Thurman's Emma Peel was a modern take on the character, embodying the spirit of female empowerment that Rigg had established, while also making the role distinctly her own through her unique combination of grace and strength.
