Spoilers ahead
Solo and Illya Kuryakin are assigned to infiltrate a THRUSH secret base hidden inside a Sicilian winery, a facility run by the coldly ambitious Louis Strago. The operation hinges on colluding with the disgraced Nazi scientist Dr. von Kronen, and the plan is to set off atomic bombs in the Atlantic. The goal is audacious: to divert the Gulf Stream and trigger a climate upheaval that would warm Greenland enough to become a strategic new home for THRUSH, a gleefully ominous notion they call “THRUSHland.”
