Plot Summary

James Bond has one more mission. Bond returns from his travels in the U.S.S.R. with a computer chip. This chip is capable of withstanding a nuclear electromagnetic pulse that would otherwise destroy a normal chip. The chip was created by Zorin Industries, and Bond heads off to investigate its owner, Max Zorin. Zorin may only seem like an innocent man, but is really planning to set off an earthquake in San Andreas, which will wipe out all of Silicon Valley. As well as Zorin, Bond must also tackle May Day an equally menacing companion of Zorin, while dragging Stacy Sutton along for the ride. Written by simon

Trivia Sir Roger Moore was 57 at the time of this film's release, making him the oldest actor to play James Bond, tied with David Niven in Casino Royale (1967). Moore was also the second-oldest, as he was 55 when Octopussy (1983) was released. The third-oldest are Moore, Sir Sean Connery, and Daniel Craig, who were all 53 when For Your Eyes Only (1981), Never Say Never Again (1983), and No Time to Die (2021) were released, respectively.

Crazy Credits Opening credits disclaimer "Neither the name 'Zorin' nor any other name or character in this film is meant to portray a real company or actual person" appears right before the gunbarrel opening sequence. It was added after producers discovered a real company run by a person named "Zoran." See more »
