Kingsman Trilogy

Triple bill of British action comedies directed by Matthew Vaughn. 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' (2014) follows Harry Hart (Colin Firth), a top member of a secret spy agency in London, as he notices the potential in young street kid Eggsy (Taron Egerton). Harry devotes his time to proving to his colleagues that the wayward youth has what it takes to be a Kingsman.

With decades of experience and tricks of the trade to pass on to his protégé, has Harry got the stamina to teach the former petty criminal how to be a super spy? In the sequel, 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' (2017), after the Kingsman headquarters in London are destroyed in an explosion, they discover that the organisation behind the attack is the notorious Golden Circle, led by criminal mastermind Poppy (Julianne Moore). As they prepare to travel to America to confront and take down Poppy and her crew, the Kingsmen contact their American counterparts, Statesman, who agree to help them in their quest. Although they have the same agenda - save the world - the Kingsmen and the Statesmen have very different methods and values but they must put these aside and work together if they stand any chance of bringing down the Golden Circle.

Finally, in 'The King's Man' (2021), when some of history's most evil figures, including assassin Gavrilo Princip (Joel Basman), spy Mata Hari (Valerie Pachner) and monk Grigori Rasputin (Rhys Ifans), join forces to plot the outbreak of the First World War, aristocrat Orlando Oxford (Ralph Fiennes) sets out to stop them. Establishing his own agency of British spies, Orlando races to uncover the identity of the criminal mastermind behind the deadly conspiracy.
