Casino Royale introduces James Bond
before he holds his license to kill. Bond's first 007 mission takes him to
Uganda where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not everything goes to plan
and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down
the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters
Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with
Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Secret Service
intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes
poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against
him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M'
places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. Bond's interest
in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le
Chiffre. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis MI6's local field agent,
and Felix Leiter who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game
proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money
and reaching a terrifying climax.
