Sean Connery returns - after a 12-year absence - to the role that made him famous, in this 'unofficial' Bond movie, made outside the auspices of regular producer Albert Broccoli and without any of the series' regular faces. A remake of the earlier Connery-Bond film Thunderball, it concerns the activities of the charming tycoon Largo (Klaus Maria Brandauer), in particular his threat to detonate a bunch of stolen nuclear warheads unless the world bows to his wishes. Bond is assigned to the case and sets about dealing with it in his own inimitable (yet much imitated) manner. Barbara Carrera features as the gorgeous villain, Fatima Blush, and Kim Basinger appears as Bond girl Domino. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)
