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. Fury expresses
confidence that the Avengers will return if and when they are needed.
In a

strength; in a post-credits scene, the
Avengers eat in silence at ashawarma restaurant.
