In 1963, professional thief turned CIA agent Napoleon Solo extracts Gaby
Teller, daughter of Udo Teller, an alleged Nazi scientist turned United
States collaborator at the end of World War II, from East Berlin,
evading KGB operative Illya Kuryakin. He later reports to his superior,
Saunders, who reveals that Teller’s uncle Rudi works in a shipping
company owned by Alexander and Victoria Vinciguerra, a wealthy couple of
Nazi sympathizers who intend to use Teller’s father to build their own
private nuclear weapon. Due to the potentially world-ending nature of
this crisis, the CIA and KGB have reluctantly teamed up and Solo and
Kuryakin are ordered to stop the Vinciguerras from succeeding, with both
men secretly assigned to steal Udo Teller’s research for their
respective governments.
