Ballistic missile submarines from the Royal Navy and the Soviet fleet mysteriously disappear. Bond (Roger Moore) is summoned to investigate. On the way he escapes an ambush by Soviet agents in Austria, killing one of them in a downhill ski chase that concludes when he skies off a cliff and falls only to open a Union Jack parachute. Bond learns that the plans for a highly advanced submarine tracking system are on the market. He travels to Egypt and attempts to contact the prospective seller near the pyramids, where he first encounters Major Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach) (codename “Triple X”) of the KGB, his rival for the plans. Together, they travel across Egypt tracking the microfilm plans, meeting the seven feet-tall steel-toothed assassin Jaws (Richard Kiel) along the way. Ultimately, they partner due to a truce supported by their respective superiors (M from MI6 and General Gogol from the KGB) and identified the person behind all the thefts as Karl Stromberg (Curd Jürgens), a shipping tycoon.
While traveling to Stromberg’s base in Sardinia, Bond saves Amasova from Jaws and their rivalry changes into affection. Posing as a marine biologist and his wife, they visit Stromberg’s base and learn of his mysterious new supertanker, the Liparus. With Q’s help, they figured that the “Liparus” has never come into port. After they leave the base, Jaws and other henchmen, including a helicopter pilot named Naomi, chase them, but all attempts fail due to Bond’s driving skills and the fact that his car—a Lotus Esprit from Q Branch—can convert into a submarine that is capable of firing missiles and torpedoes and planting mines. Amasova learns Bond killed her lover in Austria when she saw the lighter that he bought from Austria during the time that Amasova’s lover was killed and she says that she will complete the mission with him, but kill him when it ends.
Assisted by an American submarine, Bond and Amasova examine Stromberg’s underwater Atlantis base and confirm that he is operating the tracking system. The two board an American submarine in pursuit of the “Liparus.” The submarine in which they then attempt to pursue the Liparus is captured by the supertanker itself. Stromberg sets his plan in motion: The launching of nuclear missiles from the previously captured submarines were going to be used to destroy Moscow and New York City. This would trigger a global nuclear war, which Stromberg would outlive in Atlantis, and subsequently a new civilization would be established. He leaves for Atlantis with Amasova. Read more
