Literary characters from a bunch of unrelated 19th Century works are brought together to form an "Avengers-like" team in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003). The novels and stories referenced are: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Invisible Man, Jules Verne stories, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes and The Picture of Dorian Gray. The fantastical story finds a super-villain (who also happens to be a Freemason) plotting to start a World War by pushing one country against another so that he can gain extreme wealth from the weapons he is manufacturing. A team of "extraordinary gentlemen and a lady" are assembled to stop him… or so it seems. The special effects are hit or miss, but the film is enjoyable overall. Sean Connery is the only "Star" in the film, but the cast of relative unknowns handles the job well.
