Plot SynopsisIan Fleming's suave secret agent 007 returns for his 20th screen outing in Die Another Day, Bonds travels from exotic locales like Hong Kong, Cuba, Iceland, and his London base, to the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea in search of the person who sold him out leading to his imprisonment. New Zealand director Lee Tamahori presides over the character's screen adventures with real zeal and the obligatory fast-paced action sequences are as truly spectacular and implausible as ever. Brosnan is as dashing as ever, perfectly exemplifying Fleming's creation, and Halle Berry is the highest-profile and hottest Bond babe in decades and fulfils her role with great relish and a knowing bikini-clad homage towards Ursula Andress. James Bond's (Pierce Brosnan) newest undercover mission to stop a war-loving North Korean colonel begins with a spectacular high-speed hovercraft chase through a minefield in the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea - and the action doesn't let up until the credits roll. After his capture and relentless torture, subsequent release in exchange with another prisoner, Bond circles the world from Hong Kong to Cuba to London in his quest to unmask a traitor and prevent a war of catastrophic proportions. On his way he crosses paths with American agent Jinx (Halle Berry) and the beautiful but deadly personal assistant Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike), who will play vital roles in his latest adventure. Hot on the trail of deadly millionaire megalomaniac Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens) and his ruthless right-hand man Zao (Rick Yune), Bond travels to Iceland into the villain's lair: a palace built entirely of ice. There he experiences firsthand the power of a new hi-tech weapon. Ultimately it all leads to an explosive confrontation - and an unforgettable conclusion - back in Korea where it all started. |
