Barry Sullivan plays the nefarious THRUSH leader, Julian Bashir, who has developed a powerful new weapon capable of world domination. Bashir and his team of scientists have created a device that can control the world's weather patterns, and he plans to sell it to the highest bidder.

The movie also features impressive technological gadgetry, including a miniature camera and a pen that doubles as a listening device.

One of the standout actions sequences of the film involves Solo and Kuryakin attempting to escape a THRUSH laboratory hidden deep in the arctic. The agents must navigate treacherous terrain, fend off hordes of THURSH henchmen, and outmaneuver a helicopter in order to reach safety. This scene showcases the thrilling action that the movie is known for.

Another memorable scene in How to Steal the World features Bashir demonstrating his weather-control technology to a group of potential buyers.
