SUMMARY
Someone is stealing American and Russian spaceships
from orbit and the two superpowers are close to coming to blows over
the issue. James Bond
travels to Japan to investigate and, inside a massive base built inside
a dormant volcano, he comes face to face with his old adversary -
Ernst Stavro Blofeld, SPECTRE Number 1!
CAPSULE REVIEW
A return to form for the
series and the most spectacular yet. Ken Adam's awesome sets have rarely been equalled
let alone bettered, the action is fast and furious and
the Little Nellie sequence is a Bond classic. But it's clear that Connery was growing weary of the role and the
film marked the end of an era - from this point on, the
series was going to increasingly lose its way until its
effective re-launch three decades later.
