Movie Review: The man from U.C.N.L.E

Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, this movie centres on CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB agent Illya Kuryakin. Forced to put aside their long-standing hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organisation, which is bent on destabilising the fragile balance of power through the creation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to invading the criminal organisation and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe even as they each pursue their own agendas.
