James Bond – Moonraker
Where all other Bonds end, this one begins…
When a U.S. space shuttle is stolen in a midair abduction, only Bond can find the evil genius responsible. The clues point to billionaire Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), who has devised a scheme to destroy all human life on earth!
As Bond races against time to stop Drax's evil plot, he joins forces with Dr. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles), a NASA scientist who is as beautiful as she is brilliant. And 007 needs all the help he can get, for Drax's henchman is none other than Bond's old nemesis Jaws (Richard Kiel), the indestructible steel-toothed giant.
Their adventure leads all the way to a gigantic orbiting space station, where the stage is set for an epic battle for the fate of all mankind.
Critic Reviews:
- " Broccoli just keeps piling on the goodies: lush Ken Adam sets, gadgetry and gams galore, super stunts and effects. " – Frank Rich
- " Vintage Bond has violence, innuendo, sexism, and peril. " – Alistair Lawrence
- " Frequently entertaining and grandiloquent in equal measure, Moonraker's overblown excess is a total joy. " – Jake Tropila
