The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), directed by Stephen Norrington, is a steampunk-inspired action film based on Alan Moore’s graphic novel.

Set in an alternate Victorian era, the story follows a team of legendary literary characters—Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), Mina Harker, Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer, and the invisible Rodney Skinner—as they unite to stop a mysterious villain, “The Phantom,” from inciting global warfare.+

Known for its stunning visuals, steampunk aesthetic, and imaginative premise, the film weaves classic fictional figures into a high-stakes adventure. Despite mixed reviews due to pacing and character depth, it has gained a cult following for its unique concept and Sean Connery’s final on-screen performance.
