[edit] Plot

Nick Fury, retired, is approached to return to duty to take down agents of the terrorist organization HYDRA, led by the children of Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, an old enemy of his. HYDRA has reconstituted a pathogen known as the Death's Head virus, and threatens to attack Manhattan with it, barring payment of US$1 billion.

[edit] Notes

• In the comic-book series, Strucker has three children - Werner and twins Andreas and Andrea (both collectively known as Fenris). For the film, Andreas is replaced with Werner, and Andrea goes by the code-name "Viper," who is a separate character in the comics.

• Depending on the shot, Fury is missing the wrong eye. The movie is accurate in presenting a missing left eye, but promotional images have the patch over the right eye, usually due to a flipped image.

• The heli-carrier from the movie is now on display at Monster Records in Toronto.

• The film is written by David S. Goyer, comic author and screenwriter of comic adaptations of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and the Blade trilogy.
