PanARMENIAN.Net - Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for Cold War thriller “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”, revealing that an atomic bomb has wound up in the hands of a criminal organization, Variety reports.

The trailer is replete with speedboats and gunplay — echoing the iconic James Bond movie of the era, 1963’s “From Russia with Love.” The movie opens Aug. 14.

Based on the popular 1960s TV series, Henry Cavill stars as Napoleon Solo opposite Armie Hammer as Illya Kuryakin and Alicia Vikander as Gaby Teller. Guy Ritchie directs.

“When you hear something that sounds like a gunshot, drive,” Hammer instructs Vikander at the start of the trailer.

Set at the height of the Cold War, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” centers on a CIA agent and KGB agent being forced to team up on a joint mission to halt a criminal organization, which is backed by former Nazis.

Elizabeth Debicki is playing the femme fatale role, both romancing and torturing Solo in the trailer. Hugh Grant, Jared Harris and Luca Calvani also star.
