Even James Bond himself couldn’t muster enough secret agent nostalgia to save this droll adaptation of the 1960s British television show. When mad scientist Sean Connery tries to rule the world by controlling its weather, stylish British agents Emma Peel (a lithe Uma Thurman) and John Steed (Ralph Fiennes) snap into rather sluggish action. Fans of the original series claimed that the movie stumbled in misunderstanding its British heritage, but worldwide audiences simply found it boring. Owing to bad early reviews, the film only grossed $49 million against a $60 million budget.
