Warner Bros. has released the first poster and trailer for their adaptation of the 1960s spy TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E., directed by Guy Ritchie.
Like the TV series the film is set in the 1960s and centres on two spies, C.I.A. agent Napoleon Solo and the K.G.B. agent Illya Kuryakin, who team up to keep the world from descending into war.
Henry Cavill plays Solo, with Armie Hammer as Kuryakin. Rising star Alicia Vikander play Gaby Teller, with Elizabeth Debicki, Jared Harris, and Hugh Grant in support.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is out August 14th.
Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.
