60’s Cool Is Back In THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. High-Resolution Photos

THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. is filled with everything that made the 1960s cool – from its art, fashion and music, to its attitudes and perspectives – into a spot-on but understated vibe that is both retro and undeniably 21st century.

It is espionage chic and Guy Ritchie’s movie proves what was sexy then, is sexy now.

In some ways, the 1960s depicted in THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. is a rare and enticing moment in time that only really existed on screen. The TV show enthralled mid-1960s viewers and spy-game aficionados on both sides of the Atlantic.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released new high-res photos from their stylish international adventure and origin story about the superspies – Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin – from the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement.

Ritchie captures the tone and authenticity of the 60’s through the various locations, the sophisticated palettes by production designer Oliver Scholl and the work of award-winning costume designer Joanna Johnston. All the costumes represent the highly polished fashion of the time.

Many will appreciate the exciting score from composer Daniel Pemberton. In keeping with the film’s tonal integrity, Pemberton brings a sound that combines the crispness and sophistication of today with a distinctly ’60s flavor.

Ritchie brings a classic concept and period to life in a contemporary and entertaining way, because saving the world, never goes out of style.

Henry Cavill (“Man of Steel”) stars as Napoleon Solo opposite Armie Hammer (THE Social NETWORK) as Illya Kuryakin in director Guy Ritchie’s action adventure THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., a fresh take on the hugely popular 1960s television series.

Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, the film centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology.

The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.

THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. opens in IMAX and in theaters on August 14, 2015.
