In the story, a SEPCTRE agent infiltrates an American military base in England and orders the dummy warheads in two cruise missiles replaced with two live W80 nuclear warheads during a test. SPECTRE intercepts the cruise missiles and uses the warheads to extort billions of dollars from the governments of the world.
The film takes place in an alternative timeline compared to previously released films. It ignores the events of the previous six Sean Connery films. In particular, Blofeld is active and apparently previously unknown to Bond and MI6.
In addition to Sean Connery as James Bond, the movie stars Kim Basinger as Bond's primary love interest Domino Petachi, Barbara Carrera as Largo's henchwoman Fatima Blush and Klaus Maria Brandauer as Maximillian Largo.
I believe that this is the first Bond Film that I ever saw in the theater. I can remember seeing it in a packed theater in 1983 with Alison and spending part of the film listening to a crying baby. I am ambivalent about the movie; I don't really like it or dislike it.
