James Bond goes on his first ever mission as a 00. Le Chiffre is a banker to the world's terrorists. He is participating in a poker game at Montenegro, where he must win back his money, in order to stay safe among the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply as M sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. Bond, using help from Felix Leiter, Mathis and having Vesper pose as his wife, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he and Vesper Lynd remain safe? Written by simon

Did You Know?

Trivia

Title designer Daniel Kleinman was inspired by the cover of the 1953 first edition of the original novel, which featured Ian Fleming's design of a playing card bordered by eight red hearts dripping in blood. See more »

Goofs

Plot holes: When M yells at Bond after his botched mission in Madagascar, she throws down a newspaper which reads MI6 KILLS UNARMED PRISONER. A similar story seen earlier on Le Chiffre's computer identifies him as a British agent. However, since Bond escaped from the embassy and did not speak a word to anyone while there, nobody could possibly know that he was English or worked for MI6, even with security camera footage.

Quotes

[first lines]
James Bond: M really doesn't mind you earning a little money on the side, Dryden. She'd just prefer it if it wasn't selling secrets.

Crazy Credits

The opening credits include the words "Ian Fleming's James Bond."
All other Bond movies only have this if it's an original screenplay. When they're based on the novels, regardless of how loosely, they're "Ian Fleming's (name of movie/novel)." See more »
