Audience

After a plane crash in the Himalayas, three secret agents are rescued by a hidden Tibetan civilisation and granted enhanced senses, physical abilities, and intelligence. Returning to their work, they use these remarkable gifts while keeping them concealed from their organisation and facing dangerous international assignments.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like nostalgic 1960s spy adventures with a fantastical edge, especially The Man from U.N.C.L.E.; Not for you if you need modern effects, subtle writing, or consistently realistic plots.
