Synopsis: Ralph Fiennes is dapper John Steed and Uma Thurman is smartly cat-suited Emma Peel, two secret agents who fight crime with style. Sean Connery portrays Sir August De Wynter, an evil genius out to control the world with his high-tech weather machine. This madman poses quite a threat with raging icestorms, scorching temperatures, and mechanical buzz-bombing bees. Fortunately, come cold, heat or dreaded plight, our two heroes never lose their cool. Tea anyone?
