Avengers: Age of Ultron



Avengers: Age of Ultron is the 2015 sequel to The Avengers. In it, the Avengers must work together to defeat Ultron, a mechanical artificial intelligence bent on human extinction.

After raiding a Hydra base in search of Loki's scepter, taken by Hydra after the events of Captain America: Winter Soldier, the Avengers are attacked by two enhanced humans empowered by said scepter under the orders of Baron Von Strucker, one of the leaders of Hydra: Pietro Maximoff, aka Quicksilver, a speedster, and Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch. Wanda attacks Tony Stark and Steve Rogers' minds without them realizing it, and allows the Avengers to leave with the scepter.

Once he has the object in his possession, Tony sees an opportunity to enhance his and doctor Bruce Banner's defense project known as Ultron, an artificial intelligence who could remotely control his suits of armor to protect the Earth from alien threats.

Sadly for Tony, as he gains awareness, Ultron goes psychotic almost from the get-go, attacks and "kills" J.A.R.V.I.S., an fellow artificial intelligence watching over him that was going to warn Stark of Ultron's awakening, and uses the element of surprise to attack the Avengers while getting away with the scepter, fully intent on terminating a good portion of mankind in order to ensure, as Tony wanted, "peace in our time".
