action

HYDRA penetrates the Trinity Base to steal the frozen body of Wolfgang von Strucker from the cryogenic section . Because they kill several agents in the process, Colonel Nicholas "Nick" Joseph Fury is notified by Contessa Valentina "Val" de Allegro Fontaine and Alexander Goodwin Pierce in Yukon , so that he can return to SHIELD after five years to resolve the precarious situation. The mind reader Kate Neville is put by his side, and it quickly becomes clear why HYDRA stole the body. It contains the remains of a virus developed by Dr. Arnim Zola for Hitler's weapons of mass destruction program. HYDRA hopes to reproduce the virus. So Fury and the Contessa set off for Berlin to meet Inspector Runciter from Interpol so that they could get together with Dr. Interrogate Zola. But Runciter is not Runciter, but Andrea von Strucker in disguise, daughter of Wolfgang and leader of HYDRA. She overpowers Fury and poisons him with the poison of the Colombian tree frog, a species of Dendropsophus for which there is no antidote. Rather, it is one of the deadliest poisons known, and Fury remains less than 48 hours to live.

Andrea then uses a cyborg to send a message to SHIELD demanding a ransom of 1 billion US dollars so that she does not attack New York City with the deadly virus. You have until 6 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time . And in order to be believed that she has the virus, the real Inspector Runciter is admitted to a Berlin hospital, infected with the virus. The situation is grave and the planning can be started quickly. Fury, Kate and Pierce fly to HYDRA headquarters while the Contessa searches for the virus in Manhattan . Unfortunately, Fury's plane is shot down and he and Kate and Pierce have to land on the island near the headquarters. They break in, are quickly arrested and thrown into dungeon. Accordingly, it is all the more difficult for the Contessa in New York after she has finally found Werner von Strucker and the virus rockets. It can overpower all HYDRA men, but control of the missiles is at Headquarters, and without Fury they can do nothing but watch the missiles fly into Manhattan.

Thanks to Fury's glass eye, the three of them can free themselves from the dungeon. They fight their way through to the control room, where Fury overpowers Andrea and, with the help of Kate's psychological skills, pulls the kill code out of Andrea's mind. After entering the code “3-7-9-0-6”, the rocket launcher is deactivated. However, thanks to a distraction, Andrea escapes with her father's frozen body. After Fury received a synthetic antidote from Gabriel, rescued New York City, and left HYDRA for the time being, Fury is still disappointed. He fears that Andrea will be able to thaw her father again. And that's exactly what she does.

criticism

"A wooden action film with no attempt to deepen, which tries to participate once again in the fading fame of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, whose stereotypical book, however, gives him no chance to raise his profile."
