Synopsis
This
sequel to the smash-hit comic-book epic The Avengers finds the iconic
superhero team dealing with a threat of their own making: a sentient
robot called Ultron (voice of James Spader), who was originally designed
as part of a peacekeeping program. Since the events of the last film,
Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), the Hulk
(Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and
Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) have been working to take down various
cells of a secret society of villains known as HYDRA. Their zeal to make
the world a better, safer place inspires Tony Stark, genius billionaire
and alter ego of Iron Man, to create Ultron in order to respond to
additional threats that the Avengers aren't able to handle. Ultron,
unfortunately, takes this directive way too seriously -- he believes
that world peace can only be achieved by exterminating humanity, and
he'll stop at nothing to accomplish this goal. The battle between the
Avengers and Ultron is further complicated by the appearance of
superpowered siblings Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet
Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), who ally themselves with the homicidal android.
Samuel L. Jackson and Cobie Smulders co-star as, respectively,
S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives Nick Fury and Maria Hill. Joss Whedon, writer
and director of the previous Avengers movie, returns in both capacities
here. ~ Jack Rodgers, Rovi
