Plot SynopsisWhen the Secret Service agent resident in Jamaica disappears, M17 agent James Bond (Sean Connery) is assigned to discover what happened to him. The Americans are also interested in this part of the world, as their rocket launches from Cape Canaveral are being 'toppled'. A chauffeur allegedly acting on behalf of Government House, but who is really working for the enemy collects James Bond from Kingston Airport; the man kills himself rather than answers Bond's questions. A photographer following Bond is prepared to have her arm broken rather than talk. Helped by CIA Agent Felix Leiter (Jack Lord), and a Cayman Islander, Quarrel (John Kitzmiller), Bond follows Strangways' investigations onto the island of Crab Key, where he had found radioactive rocks. Bond and Quarrel go out to Crab Key, where they meet Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress), a young beachcomber. Security men searching for intruders, kill Quarrel, capture Bond and Honey, and take them to the headquarters of Dr No (Joseph Wiseman). Dr No is a scientific genius who is gaining revenge on the Americans for turning their back on him, and he reveals he is a member of SPECTRE. Bond survives a sadistic assault course when he escapes from his cell through the ventilation system, and forces Dr No's reactor into overload. Bond and Dr No grapple on the gantry over the nuclear reactor and Bond forces Dr No into the reactor coolant, killing him. Bond and Honey escape, to be picked up by Leiter and the Navy. |
