Between 1949 and 1978 undercover security agent John Steed saved the nation from such diverse threats as dope smuggling and extortion to rampaging androids and killer pussycats. Accompanied by colleagues such as Dr. David Keel and Dr. Martin King, anthropologist Catherine Gale, nightclub singer Venus Smith, business tycoon Emma Peel, former actress Tara King, reformed mercenary Mike Gambit, and ex-ballerina Purdey, this crimebusting team was known throughout the counter-intelligence world as The Avengers. With access to official documents and surveillance films, The Avengers Files celebrates the amazing adventures of these heroes and the skills which made them a force to be reckoned with.
