exchange for retrieving the Tesseract, a powerful energy source of unknown
potential, the Other promises Loki an army with which he can subjugate Earth. film
Nick Fury, director of the peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D and his
lieutenant Agent Maria Hill arrive at a remote research facility during an
evacuation, where physicist Dr. Erik Selvig is leading a research team
experimenting on the Tesseract. Agent Phil Coulson explains that the object has
begun radiating an unusual form of energy. The Tesseract suddenly activates and
opens a wormhole, allowing Loki to reach Earth. Loki takes the Tesseract and
uses his scepter to enslave Selvig and a couple of agents, including Clint
Barton, to aid him in his getaway.
In response to the
attack, Fury reactivates the "Avengers Initiative". Agent Natasha Romanoff recruit Dr. Bruce
Banner to trace the Tesseract through its gamma radiation emissions. Coulson
visits Tony Stark to have him review Selvig's research, and Fury approaches Steve
Rogers with an assignment to retrieve the Tesseract. In Stuttgart, Barton
steals iridium needed to stabilize the Tesseract's power while Loki causes a
distraction, ended with Loki's surrender to Rogers, Stark, and Romanoff. While
Loki is being escorted to S.H.I.E.L.D. Thor, brother of Loki arrives and frees
him, hoping to convince him to abandon his plan and return to Asgard. After a
confrontation with Stark and Rogers, Thor agrees to take Loki to S.H.I.E.L.D’s
flying aircraft carrier, the Helicarrier. There Loki is imprisoned while Banner
and Stark attempt to locate the Tesseract.
The Avengers become
divided, both over how to approach Loki and the revelation that S.H.I.E.L.D.
plans to harness the Tesseract to develop weapons as a deterrent against
hostile extraterrestrials. During the argue Barton and Loki's other possessed
agents attack the Helicarrier, disabling its engines in flight and causing
Banner to transform into the Hulk. Stark and Rogers try to restart the damaged
engine, and Thor attempts to stop the Hulk's rampage. Romanoff fights Barton,
and knocks him unconscious, breaking Loki's mind control. Loki escapes after
killing Coulson and ejecting Thor from the airship, while the Hulk falls to the
ground after attacking a S.H.I.E.L.D. fighter jet. Fury uses Coulson's death to
motivate the Avengers into working as a team. Stark and Rogers realize that for
Loki, simply defeating them will not be enough, he needs to overpower them
publicly to validate himself as ruler of Earth. Loki uses the Tesseract to9
open a wormhole above Stark Tower to the Chitauri fleet in space, launching his
invasion.
The Avengers rally in defense of New York City, the wormhole's location, but quickly realize they will be overwhelmed as wave after wave of Chitauri descend upon Earth. Banner arrives and transforms into the Hulk, and together he, Rogers, Stark, Thor, Barton, and Romanoff battle the Chitauri while evacuating civilians. The Hulk finds Loki and beats him into submission. Romanoff makes her way to the wormhole generator, where Selvig, freed of Loki's control, reveals that Loki's scepter can be used to shut down the generator. Meanwhile, Fury's superiors attempt to end the invasion by launching a nuclear missile at Midtown Manhattan. Stark intercepts the missile and takes it through the wormhole toward the Chitauri fleet. The missile detonates, destroying the Chitauri mothership and disabling their forces on Earth. Stark's suit runs out of power, and he falls back through the wormhole just as Romanoff closes it. Stark goes into free fall, but the Hulk saves him from crashing to the ground.
In the aftermath, Thor returns Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard, while Fury expresses confidence that the Avengers will return if and when they are needed. In a mid-credits scene, the Other confers with his master about the failed attack on Earth. In a post-credits scene, the Avengers eat in silence at a shawarma restaurant.
