The film is a big-screen adaption of the 1964 MGM television series of the same name, and it features Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill. They play opposing spies caught up Cold War shenanigans that must work together to take down a nuclear threat. It's a new take on the spy genre with boatloads of signature Ritchie flair.
