2015116 min7.1 / 10

A stylish, tongue-in-cheek Cold War spy thriller that prioritizes charm and retro aesthetics over genuine peril, built on the chemistry between two reluctant partners forced to cooperate.

At the height of the Cold War, a mysterious criminal organization plans to use nuclear weapons and technology to upset the fragile balance of power between the United States and Soviet Union. CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB agent Illya Kuryakin are forced to put aside their hostilities and work together to stop the evildoers in their tracks. The duo's only lead is the daughter of a missing German scientist, whom they must find soon to prevent a global catastrophe.
