James Bond is sent to investigate the connection between a North Korean terrorist and a diamond mogul who is funding the development of an international space weapon.
Pierce Brosnan gives one last mission as James Bond. Starting off in North Korea, Bond is betrayed and captured. 14 months later, Bond is set free, but traded for Zao who was captured by MI6. When back in his world, Bond sets off to track down Zao. Bond gets caught up in yet another scheme which sends him to millionaire Gustav Graves. Another MI6 agent known as Miranda Frost is also posing as a friend of Graves. Bond is invited to a presentation held by Graves about a satellite found in space which can project a huge laser beam. Bond must stop this madman with a fellow American agent, known as Jinx. Whilst Bond tries to stop Graves and Zao, will he finally reveal who betrayed him?

Audio/visual unsynchronized:
When Bond first appears on the platform of the abandoned underground station, the door of the stairwell leading down can be heard to slam shut behind him. Wider shots of the platform show that there was, in fact, no door, and that Bond simply appeared on the platform without entering via any door whatsoever.

Crazy Credits
The opening credits play over scenes directly related to the plot of the
film (in this case, the torture of 007). This is a first for a Bond film.
Also, footage from this sequence later appears as a brief flashback -
something only seen in the series twice before (OHMSS and Moonraker).
