Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

A retired Nick Fury is called back when Hydra revives Baron von Strucker and threatens Manhattan with a virus.

A television film made a decade before Iron Man, with a Fury who has an eye patch, a cigar and a bad attitude, brought back to stop a Hydra plot involving the Death’s Head virus.

It is here because the catalogue is a record rather than a recommendation. There is a straight line between this and the character who walks into Tony Stark’s living room ten years later, and the line is worth being able to see.
