For Your Eyes Only
The Greek underworld provides the setting for this chapter in the Bond legacy. The title song received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song in 1981. The action includes a hair-raising chase down a Cortine bobsleigh run, a ferocious underwater battle in spy-tech vehicles, and a breathtaking climb up a sheer rock-face that leaves 007 dangling on the end of a rope.
When top-secret British military equipment is lost at the bottom of the lonian sea, Agent 007 must retrieve it before it falls into Russian hands. Bond is aided by Melina, a mysterious beauty who is as skilled with a crossbow as she is seductive with a smile.
Critic Reviews:

- "This is definitely one of Roger Moore's best outings as Bond. Whilst Moore is naturally a charmer, in For Your Eyes Only, he presents Bond with a tougher edge. " – Kelechi Ehenulo
- " Most of the time, though, For Your Eyes Only is a slick entertainment. " – Vincent Canby
