World is Not Enough

James Bond, the world's greatest secret agent, is sent once more into the breach in the name of Queen, Country, and a dry martini. In the 19th Bond adventure, 007 ({|Pierce Brosnan|}) must resolve a potentially deadly power struggle between two unstable nations, with control of the world's oil supply as the ultimate prize. Bond is assigned as bodyguard to Elektra King ({|Sophie Marceau|}), the daughter of a petroleum magnate who was brutally murdered, and is trying to foil the fiendish plot of Renard ({|Robert Carlyle|}), a villain who was shot in the head with an unusual result: he cannot feel physical pain, an apparent failing that proves to be a considerable asset. {|Denise Richards|} appears as Dr. Christmas Jones, an expert on nuclear weapons, alongside {|Desmond Llewelyn|} as Q, {|Judi Dench|} as M, {|Samantha Bond|} as Miss Moneypenny, and {|John Cleese|} as R. Alternative rock band {|Garbage|} performs the theme song.
