Actor
Daniel Craig assumes the role formerly occupied by such screen greats as
Sean Connery,
Roger Moore, and
Timothy Dalton to set out on the character's very first 007 mission.
James Bond has earned his "00" status by masterfully executing a pair of death-defying professional assassinations. Now assigned the task of traveling to Madagascar to spy on notorious terrorist
Mollaka (
Sebastien Foucan) for his maiden voyage as a 007 agent,
Bond boldly goes against MI6 policy to launch an independent investigation that finds him traversing the Bahamas in search of
Mollaka's notoriously elusive terror cell. Subsequently led into the company of the mysterious
Dimitrios (
Simon Abkarian) and his exotic girlfriend,
Solange (
Caterina Murino),
Bond soon realizes that he is closer than ever to locating well-guarded terrorist financier
Le Chiffre (
Mads Mikkelsen), the man who has personally bankrolled some of the most prevalent terrorist organizations on the planet. When
Bond learns that
Le Chiffre is planning to partake in an upcoming high-stakes poker game to be played at Montenegro's Le Casino Royale and use the winnings to establish his financial grip on the globe,
M (
Judi Dench) assigns beguiling agent
Vesper (
Eva Green) the task of watching over the fledgling agent as he plays against
Le Chiffre in a covert attempt to destroy the nefarious gambler's well-established monetary stronghold in the underworld once and for all.
Bond will need more than his legendary gambling skills in order to win this dangerous game, though, and after allying himself with local MI6 field agent
Mathis (
Giancarlo Giannini) and CIA operative
Felix Leiter (
Jeffrey Wright), the endlessly suave super-spy puts on his poker face for a high-stakes game of cards in which the stakes are not measured in dollars, but human lives.
