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.
He's here. Our commitment to defend Western Europe... ...and West Berlin, for example... ...stands undiminished. The United States will make no deal with the Soviet Union... ...because the communist drive... ...to impose their political and economic system on others... ...is the primary cause of world tension today. I trust that Miss Teller was helpful. You were right. The uncle, Rudolph Von Trulsch, is the best shot.

Your job here is done when I tell you it's done. You told me, this was gonna be a simple extraction. It should have been. I didn't ask you to light up half of East Berlin. They were waiting for me. Don't flatter yourself. They follow everybody. What was waiting for me was barely human. You should've seen it run. Grow a spine, Solo. Contrary to what you may think, we are not in the haberdashery business. I don't think you understand. It tore the back off my car. Remind me, Solo. How long was your prison sentence? You owe me five more years. Now, I know you've been... ...taking care of yourself on the side. You're wetting your beak, so to speak. We don't pay you enough to be able to put truffles in your risotto, Solo. But don't ever make the calamitous error... ...of mistaking my deliberate short-sightedness for blindness.
