First trailer and poster for ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ redux

Based on the television series of the same name, Guy Ritchie’s take on the classic 60s spy show The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is due for release in August – and we have your first look at the trailer and poster.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. stars Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) as Napoleon Solo and Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as Illya Kuryakin, along with Alicia Vikander (Anna Karenina), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby), Jared Harris (Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows) and Hugh Grant as Waverly.

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.
