The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is the big-screen reboot of the TV series which ran from 1964-68, starring Robert Vaughn as Napoleon Solo and David McCallum as Illya Kuryakin, and this time the two lead roles are filled by Man of Steel‘s Henry Cavill and The Social Network‘s Armie Hammer.
In the early 1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin participate in a joint mission against a mysterious criminal organization, which is working to proliferate nuclear weapons.
The film also stars Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), Hugh Grant, Jared Harris, and a rumoured performance from.. er.. David Beckham. Really?
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is released in the UK on August 15th and if it becomes a hit, then Cavill has another series of movies to fall back on if the Superman one tanks.
