Synopsis
CASINO ROYALE introduces James Bond -before- he holds his license to kill, starring newcomer Daniel Craig (Layer Cake). But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status.
"M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly-promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face one-eyed Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale.
"M" places Bond under the watchful eye of beautiful Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine, and he learns his most important lesson: TRUST NO ONE!
