Licence to Kill

ActionAdventureThriller133 min

After drug lord Franz Sanchez leaves Felix Leiter (David Hedison) for dead and murders his new wife, James Bond breaks with MI6 and goes after the cartel on his own. Timothy Dalton's Bond heads into the Florida Keys without official cover, easing his way inside Sanchez's organization instead of hitting it from a distance. The mission turns personal, with Bond operating as a renegade while corruption, smugglers, and cartel loyalists close ranks around the man he's hunting.
