Agent 007 is sent to Jamaica by M (Bernard Lee) to investigate the disappearances of a British agent and his secretary and to determine whether they are connected to the disruptions of American rocket launches at Cape Canaveral. During the mission he meets CIA agent Felix Leiter (Jack Lord), survives assassination attempts, and infiltrates the island lair of super villain Dr. No (Wiseman). In 1962, Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman began the most successful movie franchise in history, by adapting Ian Flemings Dr. No to the screen as the first James Bond movie (Casino Royale had been adapted for American television in 1954, starring Barry Nelson, but we won't count that one). Although not the first choice for Bond, Sean Connery defined the character on screen. Dr. No introduced many of the iconic elements of the James Bond movies, beginning with the gun barrel sequence used to open the film, a highly stylised main title sequence by Maurice Binder, and Monty Norman's signature theme music. It also introduced the first "Bond" girl: a bikini-clad Ursula Andress emerging from the sea like a Botticelli Venus. The film was produced on a relatively low budget and Ken Adams's production design on a shoestring so impressed Stanley Kubrick that he was later employed to design the sets for Dr. Strangelove. The box office success of Dr. No led to the continuation of the series (with more lavish budgets and gadgets).'

Years after witnessing his fellow agent and good friend Alex Trevelyan (Bean), AKA 006, go MIA on a high stakes mission in Soviet Russia, Bond finds himself on a mission to track down the access key to an orbiting weapon that can fire an electromagnetic pulse from space, "GoldenEye". Motivated by his hatred of the country that lost him, Trevelyan also seeks the "GoldenEye" device to take his revenge on merry old England. Hindered by Trevelyans ally, the stunning (in many senses of the word) Xenia Onatopp (Janssen), Bond pursues the device and his foe across democratic Russia, Monte Carlo, Cuba and Switzerland.Following a 6 year "strategic" break after Licence to Kill, which had been somewhat of a commercial and critical disappointment, the Bond franchise exploded back onto screens with GoldenEye. Pierce Brosnan brought a renewed sense of excitement to the character, and the director, New Zealander Martin Campbell, brought a refreshing look and feel to the traditional Bond formula - GoldenEye being their debut Bond experience. GoldenEye has everything you would expect of a Bond movie - the action, the locations, the women and the one-liners - but it also has a far more engrossing story than most and some of the best characters. This is by far and away one of Bond's greatest adventures.'
