ActionAdventureComedy116 min

At the height of the Cold War, CIA agent Napoleon Solo is forced into an uneasy partnership with KGB operative Illya Kuryakin to stop a criminal group trying to shift the balance of power with nuclear technology. Henry Cavill is Solo, a smooth operative used to working alone, while Armie Hammer’s Kuryakin brings a more rigid, confrontational presence to the alliance. Their only lead is Gaby (Alicia Vikander), the daughter of a missing German scientist whose connections could get them close to the organization. Guy Ritchie places the mission in an early-1960s world shaped by espionage, suspicion, and uneasy cooperation.
