Travel back in time with Man from U.N.C.L.E


I've always loved period movies. It's as if you get to travel back in time, we have become so dependent on technology that it's nice to see characters doing things the old school way and The Man From U.N.C.L.E is just that! No high-tech gadgets, just good old stylish spies saving the world from the bad guys.

Boasting of fast paced action and stylish sets (and wonderful wardrobe! Look at those sun glasses!!) Director Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes & Snatch) brings us a fresh take on the hugely popular 1960's TV series- the spy thriller stars Henry Cavill (Man of Steel- yes- it's Superman) as Napoleaon Solo, opposite Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as Illya Kuryakin.


Set in 1960's during the height of the Cold War, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. centers on CIA agent and KGB agent Kuryakin, (so it's basically, USA teaming up with Russai) being forced to work together, (needless to say, they don't like each other) to stop a mysterious international criminal organization which is bent on using nuclear weapons & technology to upset the already fragile balance of power. 

The original boys from the 60's TV Series - The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 

The duo's only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is key to infiltrating the criminal organization and they must race against time to find and prevent a worldwide catastrophe. 



“The Man from U.N.C.L.E” also stars Alicia Vikander (“Anna Karenina”), Elizabeth Debicki (“The Great Gatsby”), with Jared Harris (“Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows”), and Hugh Grant as Waverly-is it just me or does seeing Hugh Grant with laugh lines make you feel old? 




Saving the world, never goes out of style. 

Set for release across the Philippines on Aug. 13, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
