Plot
The Asgardian Loki encounters the Other, the leader of an
extraterrestrial race known as the Chitauri. In exchange for
retrieving the Tesseract,2 a powerful energy source of
unknown potential, the Other promises Loki an army with
which he can subjugate Earth. Nick Fury, director of the
espionage agency 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 several
agents, including Clint Barton, to aid him in his getaway.
In response to the attack, Fury reactivates the "Avengers
Initiative". Agent Natasha Romanoff is sent to Calcutta to
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, leading to a
confrontation with Rogers, Stark, and Romanoff that ends
with Loki's surrender. While Loki is being escorted to
S.H.I.E.L.D., Thor, his adoptive brother, 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. As the group argues, 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, in conjunction with a device
Selvig built, to 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 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 freefall,
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 master3
about the failed attack on Earth. In a post-credits scene, the
Avengers eat in silence at a shawarma restaurant.
