The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See
15. A Group Of Former Nazis
Who exactly is responsible for creating this nuclear weapon? Well, apparently that same criminal group is in league with a bunch of former Nazis - remember at the beginning of the trailer where they recounted the aftermath of World War II? That was important. It's also another of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'s nods to real history. Obviously it's diverging from actual history a fair amount, with the KGB and CIA teaming up and anybody wearing flat caps in that era, but Nazi scientists actually did end up escaping Germany and doing such work in the sixties.
