The World Is Not Enough

ActionAdventureThriller128 min

Pierce Brosnan is James Bond, dispatched by MI6 to protect oil heiress Elektra King after her father’s murder pulls him into a struggle over pipelines, money, and international leverage. As the threat closes in, Bond tracks Renard (Robert Carlyle), a terrorist whose brain injury leaves him unable to feel pain, while Judi Dench’s M keeps pressure on the mission from London. From a speedboat chase on the Thames to attacks in the snow and a submarine showdown, the film ties Bond’s globe-trotting espionage to a power play with the world’s oil supply hanging in the balance.
