The 00 section of MI6 is chosen for a test to penetrate the radar installation at Gibraltar, with British SAS at full alert to intercept them. Agent 004 is intercepted and killed by an unknown assailant, who leaves with a note "Smiert Spionam." Agent 007, James Bond (Timothy Dalton) pursues and after a lengthy fight inside a jeep, he manages to kill the assailant, when the jeep falls off a cliff and blows up. Bond is assigned to help KGB General Georgi Koskov (Jeroen Krabbé) defect, covering his escape from a concert hall in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. Saunders (Thomas Wheatley) is the section chief whom Koskov contacted for the defection and has planned his escape. During the mission, Bond notices that a KGB sniper is a female cellist from the orchestra. Disobeying his orders from Saunders, to kill the sniper, he shoots the rifle from her hands, then uses the Trans-Siberian Pipeline to smuggle Koskov across the border to the West. Bond knows that the girl was not a professional assassin (she didn't know how to hold a rifle) and also Q can't find any record of her among the KGB. Q (Desmond Llewelyn). M (Robert Brown), the head of MI6 and Bond's superior. Miss Moneypenny (Caroline Bliss), M's secretary. In his post-defection debriefing, Koskov informs MI6 that the KGB's old policy of 'Smiert Spionam," meaning 'Death to Spies," has been revived by General Leonid Pushkin (John Rhys-Davies), the new head of the KGB. Koskov is later abducted from the safe-house (via a KGB agent dressed like a milkman) and assumed to have been taken back to Moscow. Bond is directed to track down Pushkin in Tangier and kill him, to forestall further killings of agents and escalation of tensions between the Soviet Union and the West. Bond agrees to carry out the mission when he learns that the assassin who killed 004 (as depicted in the pre-title sequence) left a note bearing the same message, "Smiert Spionam." MoneyPenny tracks the cello girl in Bratislava and Bond decides to investigate her first. Bond returns to Bratislava to track down the cellist, Kara Milovy (Maryam d'Abo). Bond sees Kara being taken away by Pushkin from the tram. Inside her cello, Bond finds the rifle with two blank bullets. He also finds a note with Kara's address. Bond finds out that Koskov's entire defection was staged, and that Kara is actually Koskov's girlfriend. Bond convinces Kara that he is a friend of Koskov's (and knew about his fake defection) and persuades her to accompany him to Vienna, supposedly to be reunited with him. They escape Bratislava while being pursued by the KGB (Bond evades them in a well stocked car supplied by Q, and then using Kara's cello case as a sled to slide across into Austria), crossing over the border into Austria. Meanwhile, Pushkin meets with an arms dealer, Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker), in Tangier, informing him that the KGB is canceling an arms deal previously arranged between Koskov and Whitaker. Whitaker takes himself to be a great general, but Pushkin insults him saying that he was a West Point dropout (for cheating) and had criminal links who financed his first arm deals. Pushkin threatens Whitaker that he knows he and Koskov are working together on something. During his brief tryst with Milovy in Vienna, Bond visits the Prater to meet his MI6 ally, Saunders, who discovers a history of financial dealings between Koskov and Whitaker (It was Whitaker who bought an expensive Stradivarius for Kara from an auction in NYC). As he leaves their meeting, Saunders is killed by Koskov's henchman Necros (Andreas Wisniewski), who again leaves the message "Smiert Spionam." Bond and Kara promptly leave for Tangier, where Bond confronts Pushkin (in the hotel room of Pushkin's mistress, Rubavitch (Virginia Hey), who disavows any knowledge of "Smiert Spionam" and reveals that Koskov is evading arrest for embezzlement of government funds. Pushkin tells Bond to trust him and not Koskov. Bond and Pushkin then join forces, and Bond fakes Pushkin's assassination, inducing Whitaker and Koskov to progress with their scheme. Meanwhile, Kara contacts Koskov, who tells her that Bond is actually a KGB agent, and convinces her to drug him so that he can be captured. That night when Bond returns to Kara, she drugs him as per instructions. Before passing out Bond warns Kara that Koskov wanted her dead, as she knew too much (which is why she was told to hold a rifle during his escape, to ensure that Bond kills her to eliminate the threat to Koskov's defection) Koskov, Necros, Kara, and the captive Bond fly to a Soviet air base in Afghanistan, where Koskov betrays Kara and imprisons her, along with Bond. The pair escape from the Soviet makeshift prison by using Bond's gadgets, and in doing so, free a condemned prisoner, Kamran Shah (Art Malik), leader of the local Mujahideen. Bond and Milovy discover that Koskov is using Soviet funds (converted to diamonds) to buy a massive shipment of opium from the Mujahideen, intending to keep the profits (from sales in the US and Europe) with enough left over to supply the Soviets with their arms (for which Koskov has taken an advance) and buy Western arms from Whitaker. With the Mujahideen's help, Bond plants a bomb aboard the cargo plane carrying the opium, but is spotted and has no choice but to barricade himself in the plane. Meanwhile, the Mujahideen attack the air base on horseback and engage the Soviets in a gun battle. During the battle, Kara drives a jeep into the cargo hold of the plane as Bond takes off, and Necros also leaps aboard at the last second (Koskov is injured as he drives head on into a landing plane on the runway). After a struggle, Bond throws Necros to his death and deactivates the bomb. Bond then notices Shah and his men being pursued by Soviet forces. He re-activates the bomb and drops it out of the plane and onto a bridge, blowing it up and helping Shah and his men escape the Soviets. The plane subsequently crashes, destroying the drugs, while Bond and Kara escape. Bond returns to Tangier to kill Whitaker, infiltrating his estate with the help of his ally Felix Leiter (John Terry), and Pushkin arrests Koskov, ordering him to be executed before sending him back to Moscow. Some time later, Kara is the solo cellist in a Vienna performance. Kamran Shah and his men jostle in during the intermission and are introduced to now-diplomat General Gogol (Walter Gotell) and the Soviets. After her performance, Bond surprises Kara in her dressing room, and they embrace.

MI6 agent James Bond (Sir Roger Moore) is sent to Siberia to locate the body of 003 and recover a Soviet microchip. Upon doing so, he is ambushed by Soviet troops but flees in a waiting submarine. Back in London at the MI6 office, Bond catches up with Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell), M (Robert Brown), Frederick Gray (Geoffrey Keen), the British Minister of Defence, and Q (Desmond Llewelyn). Q analyzes the microchip, establishing it to be a copy of one designed to withstand an electromagnetic pulse, made by government contractor Zorin Industries. Somebody inside Zorin is connected to the KGB. Bond visits Ascot Racecourse to observe the company's owner, Max Zorin (Christopher Walken), a psychopathic industrialist, the product of a Nazi genetic experiment, who plans to destroy Silicon Valley to gain a monopoly in the microchip market. Sir Godfrey Tibbett (Patrick Macnee), a racehorse trainer and MI6 agent, believes Zorin's horses, which win consistently, are drugged, although tests proved negative. Through Tibbett, Bond meets with French private detective Achille Aubergine (Jean Rougerie), who informs Bond that Zorin is holding a horse sale later in the month. During their dinner at the Eiffel Tower, Aubergine is assassinated by Zorin's bodyguard May Day (Grace Jones) (Zorin's lover and chief of staff. She seemingly possesses superhuman strength). Bond tries to stop her and follows her as she parachutes off the Eiffel Tower but loses her as she gets away in the River Seine in a speedboat driven by Zorin. Bond and Tibbett travel to Zorin's estate for the horse sale. Tibbett poses as Bond's valet. Tibbett wanders into the stables and finds one horse vanishes after being brought into the stables. Bond notices an attractive blonde woman visiting Zorin, who has written her a check for $5 million. At night, Bond and Tibbett break into Zorin's underground laboratory via the stable, where he is implanting adrenaline-releasing devices in his horses. They also find Zorin's warehouse with millions of crates of microchips. Even though Bond plants a tape recorder to mislead Zorin's secret surveillance devices in his room, they are almost caught snooping by security guards. Nevertheless, May Day finally remembers him from the Eiffel Tower assassination. Bond send Tibbitts on an errand. Then, Bond joins Zorin for a horseback ride. Zorin gives him a horse which has been injected with stimulants. Zoran offers Bond the Ithaca colt if he stays in the saddle in a cross-country race. But he discovers the jumps are booby-trapped with other jockeys chasing and trying to make him fall. The horse goes rogue and leaves the racecourse heading through the nearby forest at a dead run. He then discovers his Rolls Royce and chauffeur driving nearby and stops. Then he discovers Tibbitts is unconscious in the backseat with an armed May Day driving. He is held at gunpoint by Zorin who has caught up. Bond is knocked out and put in the backseat with Tibbitts. At a lakeside, they push the car into the water and watch it sink. Underwater, the car is tipped on its roof. Bond wakes up and realizes they are still watching him above. He then inhales air from the car tire until he could safely surface but Tibbitts drowns. General Gogol (Walter Gotell) of the KGB confronts Zorin for killing Bond without permission, revealing that Zorin was initially trained and financed by the KGB but has now gone rogue. Later in a airship, Zorin unveils to a group of investors his plan ("Main Strike") to destroy Silicon Valley, which will give him-and the potential investors a monopoly over microchip manufacture. Silicon Valley has 250 plants producing 80% of the world's supply of microchips. Zorin wants $100MM from each investor for this task. One man refuses and is ejected to his death. Bond goes to San Francisco. At Fisherman's Wharf, he meets with CIA agent Chuck Lee (David Yip), who claims Zorin is the product of medical experimentation with steroids performed by Dr. Carl Mortner (Willoughby Gray), a former Nazi scientist who is now Zorin's physician. In WWII, he used steroids on pregnant concentration camp prisoners to increase intelligence. Instead, many women aborted. Of the few who gave birth, many children developed psychosis. Bond guesses Zorin might be one of those children. Mortner was grabbed by the KGB after the war, and hence was never tried for war crimes. Bond then investigates a nearby heavily guarded oil pumping station owned by Zorin (after reports that crab fishermen say crabs near his oil pump just disappear). In scuba gear, he sees KGB agent Pola Ivanova (Fiona Fullerton) recording conversations and her partner placing mines on the pier. He enters a nearby pipe just before they begin testing. He is overtaken by the water pressure and he is forced to jam the mechanism with his scuba tank. Ivanova's partner is caught by May Day and killed. Zorin thinks the KGB wants to eliminate him. But Ivanova and Bond are able to escape. It turns out, they know each other. At a spa, they then spend the night together soaking in a hot tub, recounting past spy tales. Pola sees Bond take the recording. Later Ivanova steals back the tape from Bond's case, but finds out later he switched tapes. Bond is perplexed that Zorin is pumping seawater into his pipelines. Bond tracks down State Geologist Stacey Sutton (Tanya Roberts) at the California office of conservation, the woman Zorin attempted to pay off, and discovers that Zorin is trying to buy her family oil business. As he introduces himself, they are interrupted by Zorin's henchmen. He helps her fight them off. Stacey tells Bond how she has used all of her money to fight Zorin in the courts over a rigged proxy fight which caused her to sell even her furniture. They travel to San Francisco City Hall to check Zorin's submitted plans (on how many oil wells he has near the Silicon Valley area) after Bond tells Stacey that Zorin is pumping sea water into his oil wells instead of taking crude out. It turns out this has the potential to trigger a major earthquake. However, Zorin, who has been alerted to their presence, confronts them and holds them at gunpoint. He kills the Chief Geologist and Lee, and sets fire to the building to frame Bond for the murders. He traps them inside an elevator, intending for them to die. However, they climb out and get out of the burning elevator shaft. They escape in a fire engine before the police are able to arrest him. Bond and Stacey secretly inspect Zorin's mine, discovering his plot to detonate explosives beneath the lakes along the Hayward and San Andreas faults, which will cause them to flood and will produce a massive earthquake as a result, and submerge Silicon Valley forever. A larger bomb is also in the mine to destroy a "geological lock" that prevents the two faults from moving simultaneously. Once in place, Zorin and his security chief Scarpine (Patrick Bauchau) flood the mines and kill the workers. Stacey escapes while Bond fights May Day; when she realizes Zorin abandoned her, she helps Bond remove the larger bomb, putting the device onto a handcar and riding it out of the mine, chasing to commit suicide to prevent a worse explosion. Escaping in his airship with Scarpine and Mortner, Zorin abducts Stacey while Bond grabs hold of the airship's mooring rope. Zorin tries to knock him off, but Bond manages to moor the airship to the framework of the Golden Gate Bridge. Stacey attacks Zorin to save Bond, and in the fracas, Mortner and Scarpine are temporarily knocked out. Stacey flees and joins Bond out on the bridge, but Zorin follows them out with an ax. The ensuing fight between Zorin and Bond culminates with Zorin falling to his death. Mortner attempts to attack Bond with dynamite, but Bond cuts the airship free, causing Mortner to drop the dynamite in the cabin, blowing up the airship and killing himself and Scarpine. General Gogol wishes to award Bond the Order of Lenin for foiling Zorin's scheme, but M reports that he is missing. At Stacy's home, Q sends a remote-controlled surveillance robot in to search the residence, whereupon it discovers Bond in the bathroom, taking a shower with Stacey. Bond throws a towel over the robot's camera.

Blofeld is alive and tries to kill Bond by trapping him inside a remote controlled helicopter. But Bond manages to take control back, locate Blofeld and attack him with the helicopter. The British information gathering vessel (spy boat) St Georges, which holds the Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator (ATAC), the system used by the Ministry of Defence to communicate with and co-ordinate the Royal Navy's fleet of Polaris submarines, is sunk after accidentally trawling an old naval mine in the Ionian Sea. MI6 agent James Bond (Sir Roger Moore) is ordered by the Minister of Defence, Sir Frederick Gray (Geoffrey Keen) and MI6 Chief of Staff, Bill Tanner (James Villiers), to retrieve the ATAC before the Soviets, as the transmitter could order attacks by the submarines' Polaris ballistic missiles. Q (Desmond Llewelyn), Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell). The head of the KGB, General Gogol (Walter Gotell), has also learned of the fate of the St Georges and already notified his contact in Greece. A marine archaeologist, Sir Timothy Havelock (Jack HEDLEY), who had been asked by the British to secretly locate the St Georges, is murdered with his wife by a Cuban hit-man, Hector Gonzales (Stefan Kalipha). Hector was identified by Timothy's daughter Melina (Hector was the pilot who flew Melina in to her Parent's yacht). Bond goes to Spain to find out who hired Gonzales. While spying on Gonzales' villa, Bond is captured by his men, but manages to escape as Gonzales is killed by a crossbow bolt. Outside, he finds the assassin was Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet), the daughter of Sir Timothy, and the two escape together. With the help of Bond, Q uses computerized technology to identify the man Bond saw paying off Gonzales as Belgian underworld enforcer Emile Leopold Locque (Michael Gothard) (a Belgian-hired assassin known by his octagonal-rimmed glasses), and then goes to Locque's possible base in Cortina, Italy. There Bond meets his contact, Luigi Ferrara (John Moreno), and a well-connected Greek businessman and intelligence informant, Aris Kristatos (Julian Glover), who tells Bond that Locque is employed by Milos Columbo (TOPOL), known as "the Dove" in the Greek underworld, Kristatos' former resistance partner during the Second World War. But now Columbo is Kristatos' enemy and he convinces Bond to side with him. Bond finds Melina in Cortina and she is attacked by assassins. She tells Bond that she came because Bond messaged her, when he didn't. Bond convinces Melina to let him handle the case. After Bond goes with Kristatos' protege, figure skater Bibi Dahl (Lynn-Holly Johnson), to a biathlon course, a group of three men, which includes East German bi-athlete (and KGB agent) Eric Kriegler (John Wyman), chases Bond, trying to kill him. Bond escapes and then goes with Ferrara to bid Bibi farewell in an ice rink, where he fends off another attempt on his life by three men in ice hockey gear. Ferrara is killed in Bond's car, with a dove pin in his hand. Bond then travels to Corfu in pursuit of Columbo. There, at the casino, Bond meets Kristatos and asks how to meet Columbo, not knowing that Columbo's men are secretly recording their conversation. After Columbo and his mistress, 'Countess' Lisl Von Schlaf (Cassandra Harris), argue, Bond offers to escort her home with Kristatos' car and driver. The two then spend the night together. In the morning, Lisl and Bond are ambushed by Locque and his men, who run Lisl down, killing her. Bond is captured by Columbo's men before Locque can kill him; Columbo then tells Bond that Locque was actually hired by Kristatos, who was a double agent during the resistance and is currently working for the KGB to retrieve the ATAC. To prove his accusation, Columbo and his crew take Bond on a raid on one of Kristatos' opium-processing warehouses in Albania, where Bond encounters Locque and uncovers naval mines similar to the one that sank the St Georges, suggesting it was not an accident. After the warehouse is destroyed, Locque escapes; but Bond gives chase and kills him. Bond then rendezvous with Melina on her yacht. Using her father's daily log, they locate the St Georges and recover the ATAC from the wreckage (They are attacked relentlessly by Kristatos's men, first inside the submerged ship, whom Bond blows up with the explosive charge tied to the ATAC. and then when he and Melina get inside the two-person mini-sub, they are again attacked by another mini-sub belonging to Kristatos. Bond manages to push the other mini sub inside the submerged ship and escape). However, Kristatos is already waiting for them when they surface, and he takes the ATAC. After the two escape an assassination attempt through shark-infested waters (Melina spots an underwater hiding place with air pockets), they discover Kristatos' meeting point with the KGB with the help of Melina's parrot, Max (who was present when Kristatos discusses the meeting point with Kriegler, the KGB agent). With the help of Columbo and four of his men, Bond and Melina break into St Cyril's, an abandoned mountaintop monastery. Bond climbs up the mountain face with climbing gear and then activates the basket system to pull the rest of his team up, including Columbo and Melina. As Columbo confronts Kristatos, Bond kills Kriegler. Bond retrieves the ATAC system and stops Melina from killing Kristatos after he surrenders. Kristatos tries to kill Bond with a hidden switchblade, but is killed by a knife thrown by Columbo; Gogol arrives by helicopter to collect the ATAC, but Bond throws it off the cliff, destroying it and declaring detente. Bond and Melina later spend a romantic evening aboard her yacht when he receives a call from the Prime Minister (in a cameo by Margaret Thatcher impersonator Janet Brown), leaving Max to flirt with the Prime Minister, much to the annoyance of Q, Grey, and Tanner.
