The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a 2015 spy film directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Ritchie and Lionel Wigram. It is based on the 1964 MGM television series of the same name, which was created by Norman Felton and Sam Rolfe. The film stars Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, and Hugh Grant. The film was produced by RatPac-Dune Entertainment and Davis Entertainment while Turner Entertainment Co., the original TV series current holder, was also involved. In 1993, John Davis obtained the rights for a film adaptation based on the original series. However, the film fell into development limbo due to multiple script rewrites. Over the years, Matthew Vaughn, David Dobkin, and Steven Soderbergh were optioned for directing until Ritchie signed on in March 2013. The film premiered at Barcelona on August 2, 2015, and was released on August 14, 2015, by Warner Bros. It received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office bomb, grossing only $110 million worldwide on a $75 million budget. Rolling Stone listed this movie 50th on the best action movies of all time.
You're wasting your time. I haven't seen him for 18 years. Well, after the war, he came to work for us. He'd been enjoying the American dream. Had a great job working for the U.S. Nuclear Program... ...pleasant house in the suburbs... ...a new Cadillac and a fat little dog called "Schnitzel." Then, two years ago, he disappeared like steam from a tea kettle.

I'm told that if your father's knowledge gets into the wrong hands... ...things could get a little messy. You know, end of the world. That kind of thing. What makes you think I know where he is? I don't think you do, but I think you know someone who does. Your mother's brother: Uncle Rudi.
