UNCLE are in the middle of an operation called 'the August Affair' and THRUSH would like to know what it is. They come up with the cunning plan of capturing Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) and replacing him with one of their own agents sugically made to look like Solo. Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum) slowly becomes suspicious of his friend, due to his behaviour. Can Kuryakin figure out what's going on before the false Solo gets the information, or can the real Solo escape and stop the Thrush double before it's too late.As with other Man from UNCLE movies this is made up of two episodes of the TV series combined. Fans of the series will love this, it has all the elements a 60's spy film should have, but others may feel it's a little lacking, betraying its origins as a TV show and subsequent lack of funding compared to most films. Never the less, if you want a lightweight spy thriller with guns, girls, and action you could do a lot worse than this.
