The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The events of the film take place in the 60s, during the so-called Cold War. When the world is in danger, even the fiercest opponents unite to save it. They are CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Ilya Kuryakin. Together, they must find the head of a secret international organization that is engaged in the illegal supply of nuclear weapons and the latest technologies. After all, such actions can lead to a global split between states. The agents have a clue - they tracked down the daughter of the head of a criminal organization. Read more Spy action "Agents of A.N.K.L." is based on the American TV series, which was broadcast by the NBC TV channel in the period from 1964 to 1968. The events of the film take place in the same 60s in order to come closest to the original. After all, the key conflict of both projects is the aggravation of passions during the Cold War. The most interesting thing is that the role of Napoleon Saul, played by Henry Cavill, could go to Tom Cruise. But he made a choice in favor of another spy action "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation". And the difference between the premieres of these films is only one week. Also, such a mastodon of cinema as George Clooney claimed the role of Solo. Since the end of the premiere of the series "Agents of A.N.K.L." several attempts were made to launch the plot already in full-length format. About 12 different versions of the script were written by the writers of the original, one of which could be directed by Quentin Tarantino. Studio Warner Bros. tried to launch the project for five years until, finally, favorable conditions were created. Guy Ritchie worked on the script together with Lionel Wigram, with whom they wrote the text for the "Sherlock Holmes" trilogy.
