Kingsman: The Secret Service is a film written, produced and directed by Matthew Vaughn. He co-produced the film with David Reid and Adam Bohling and co-wrote the screenplay with Jane Goldman. It stars Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Strong, Taron Egerton and Michael Caine. The film is based on the 2012 comic book series, The Secret Service, created by Mark Millar and David Gibbons. The comic book was renamed Kingsman: The Secret Service to tie in with the film.

The storyline follows Eggsy, a young man whose father died when he was a young boy, is dealing with living with the creep her mother is with now, who mistreats her and him. He goes out and does something to one of the creep’s friends. He gets arrested and he calls a number a man gave him around the time his father died, to call if he needs help. A man named Harry approaches him and tells him he’s the one who helped him. He tells him that he knew his father. When the man Eggsy slighted wants some payback, Harry takes care of him and his companions single handed. Harry then tells Eggsy that he’s part of a secret organisation called the Kingsman and his father was also part of it. He died trying to make the world safe. Harry offers Eggsy the opportunity to be a Kingsman and he takes it. He undergoes a gruelling training course. Harry is looking into the demise of another Kingsman and the trail leads him to tech billionaire named Valentine who is also curious about the group following him, the Kingsman.
